if the probability that a candidate will fail his/her nursing entrance examination is 1/3 find the probability that he/she will pass

a). 1/2
b). 1/4
c). 2/3
d). -1/3?

post some work, and we will take a look.

the probabilityof passing an examinationis 0.8 what is the probabilityof failing the examination

To find the probability that the candidate will pass the nursing entrance examination, we can subtract the probability of failing from 1.

Given that the probability of failing is 1/3, the probability of passing would be:

P(Pass) = 1 - P(Fail)

P(Pass) = 1 - 1/3

P(Pass) = 2/3

Therefore, the correct answer is option c) 2/3.
