Question 1114032: Hi. Can you help me solve this problem?
If the probability that an event will occur is 2/x+2 what is the probability that the even will not occur?
I managed to write down a starting point. This is what I wrote: P(~A) = 1 - 2/x+2.
Thank you in advance.

Right::
P(~A) = 1 - 2/(x+2)
= [x+2-2]/(x+2)
----
= x/(x+2)
