Probability (Complementary events)

Find the complementary probability:

  1. If you flip a coin P(heads) is $\dfrac{1}{2}$.  What is P(tails)?
  2. If you roll a die, P(5) is $\dfrac{1}{6}$.  What is P(not 5)?
  3. If you roll a die, P(even number) is $\dfrac{1}{2}$.  What is P(not even) or P(odd)?
  4. If your teachers is randomly choosing a student of the month, your probability of being chosen is $\dfrac{1}{32}$.  What is the probability that you are not chosen?
  5. If your probability of winning a raffle is $\dfrac{1}{1,000}$, what is the probability that you do not win?
  6. If you randomly choose a student from a class, the probability that his or her favorite food is pizza is $\dfrac{5}{26}$. What is the probaility that, if you choose a random student from this class, what is the probability that his or her favorite food is something other than pizza?
