If the probability that event S will not occur is 1 - y, then the probability that event S will occur is

A. y^2 − 1
B. y^2
C. y/2
D. y - 1
E. y


Since the probability that S will not occur is (1 - y), the probability that it will occur is 1 - (1 - y) = y.

Answer: E

If the probability that an event S occurs is given by P(S0, the the probability that the same event, denoted as P(S') = 1 - P(S).

Therefore P(S) + P(S') = 1

Here P(S') = 1 - y

P(S) + 1 - y = 1

P(S) = 1 - 1 + y = y


Option E
