Fill in the blanks
The probability that the home team will win an upcoming football game is 0.77, the probability that it will tie the game is 0.08, and the probability that it will lose the game is _____.
Let us consider that,
A → event that home team will win football game
B → event that home team will tie football game
C → event that home team will lose football game
It is given that,
P (A) = 0.77
& P (B) = 0.08
To find: P (C)
Now, we know that,
Sum of all probabilities = 1
Thus,
P (A) + P (B) + P (C) = 1
0.77 + 0.08 + P (C) = 1
P (C) = 1 – (0.77 + 0.08)
= 0.15
Answer = 0.15
