How is the probability of the complement of an event A calculated?
- 1 - P(A)
- P(A) * P(A')
- P(A) + P(A')
- P(A) - P(A')
The probability of the complement of an event A, denoted as P(A') or P(not A), is calculated as 1 - P(A). This is because an event and its complement are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, meaning either the event occurs or it does not.
