The probability that Brian wins a raffle is given by the expression n n + 2 . Write down an expression, in the form of a combined single fraction, for the probability that Brian does not win.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{n+2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the total probability be 1

Probability that Brian wins a raffle  = n/n+2

Probability that Brian does not win a raffle = 1 - Probability that Brian wins a raffle

Probability that Brian does not win a raffle = 1 - (n/n+2)

Probability that Brian does not win a raffle = [tex]\frac{n+2-n}{n+2}[/tex]

Probability that Brian does not win a raffle = [tex]\frac{2}{n+2}[/tex]

Hence required fraction is  [tex]\frac{2}{n+2}[/tex]
