The probability of snow on New Year's Day is 74%. What is the probability it will not snow on New Year's Day.
Identify the type of probability
The probability of it not snowing on New Year's Day can be calculated by subtracting the probability of it snowing from 100%. In this case, the probability would be 100% - 74% = 26%.
The type of probability being used here is complementary probability.
To find the probability that it will not snow on New Year's Day, we can subtract the probability of snow from 100%.
Probability of snow on New Year's Day = 74%
Probability it will not snow on New Year's Day = 100% - 74% = 26%
The type of probability being used here is complementary probability.
