Sam And Joan Are Playing A Tennis Match. If The Probability Of Sam's Win Is 0.59, Then Find The Probability Of Joan's Win.

Answer»

<P>LET event A = Sam wins and event B = JOAN wins. Then,

P(A) = 0.59

Since if Sam wins, Joan cannot win and if Joan wins, Sam cannot win, so we can SAY that the events A and B are mutually exclusive. Other than these two events, there are

no any other possible outcomes. So,

P(A)+P(B) = 1

0.59+P(B) = 1

P(B) = 1-0.59 = 0.41

Let event A = Sam wins and event B = Joan wins. Then,

P(A) = 0.59

Since if Sam wins, Joan cannot win and if Joan wins, Sam cannot win, so we can say that the events A and B are mutually exclusive. Other than these two events, there are

no any other possible outcomes. So,

P(A)+P(B) = 1

0.59+P(B) = 1

P(B) = 1-0.59 = 0.41
