Question 529919: the probability that luis will pass his statistics test is 0.58. Find the proability that he will fail his statistics test.
a. 0.29 b. 1.72 c. 1.38 d. 0.42
i thought the answer would be d.0.42 but i wasnt sure. the reason i thought this is because i passing grade would be 100 and if he already has 0.58 then you can only add 0.42 to get to 100 but i wasnt sure if this was right.
