Solution

Break Down the Problem

  1. Identify the two outcomes of the event, which are A and B.
  2. Understand that the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes must equal 1.

Relevant Concepts

  1. Probability of an event A is given as P(A)=0.9 P(A) = 0.9 .
  2. The total probability for all outcomes in a sample space is given by: P(A)+P(B)=1 P(A) + P(B) = 1
  3. Therefore, to find P(B) P(B) : P(B)=1P(A) P(B) = 1 - P(A)

Analysis and Detail

  1. Substitute the known value of P(A) P(A) into the equation: P(B)=10.9 P(B) = 1 - 0.9
  2. Perform the calculation: P(B)=0.1 P(B) = 0.1

Verify and Summarize

  1. The calculations check out, as both probabilities sum to 1: P(A)+P(B)=0.9+0.1=1 P(A) + P(B) = 0.9 + 0.1 = 1

Final Answer

The probability of B is P(B)=0.1 P(B) = 0.1 .
