The complement of an event is all possible outcomes not in the event.  For example: If A = at least 3 girls are born to a family with 6 kids.  Then A' =  A compliment is what happens if there are not at least 3 girls = less than 3 girls born to the family.  A useful formula: P(A) + P(A' ) = 1 or P(A') = 1 - P(A).  If P(A) = 0.194, what is P(A')?

Question

The complement of an event is all possible outcomes not in the event. 

For example: If A = at least 3 girls are born to a family with 6 kids. 

Then A' =  A compliment is what happens if there are not at least 3 girls = less than 3 girls born to the family. 

A useful formula: P(A) + P(A' ) = 1 or P(A') = 1 - P(A). 

If P(A) = 0.194, what is P(A')?
