complement of 35%

Question

complement of 35%

Answer 1

When looking at probabilities, the "Universe" is considered 1.00 (or, 100%).

 

The complement simply means what something is not.

 

So, if the "Universe" is 100%, wherein something is 35% (0.35), then the complement is 65% (0.65).

 

A good example would be:  A=0.35

 

Find A'

 

A'=1.00-0.35=0.65 (65%)

Answer 2

Percentages (or more precisely probabilities) are said to be complimentary if they sum to 1=100%...

 

So 35%=.35 has a complimentary probability of 1-.35=.65, which is equivalent in percentages to 65%.

Answer 3

The complement would be as follows:

 

100%-35%=65%

 

This is 0.65 in decimal form.

 

Answer 4

The complement of 35% is

 

100% - 35% = 65%
