Question

After Cynthia microwaves her bowl of morning porridge, it is either too cold, just right, or too hot. She estimates there is a 35% chance that it will be too cold and a 50% chance that it will be too hot. What is the probability that Cynthia's morning porridge will be just right

Answer 1

The probability Cynthia's porridge is just right is 15%.

A probability describes how likely is for an event to occur. Probabilities can be expressed using different but one of the most common ways to express probability is to use percentages or 0% to 100%.

Moreover, in some cases, the probability of an event occurring is directly related to the probability of another event. For example, if Cynthia porridge is hot, it means it is neither right nor cold.

Based on this, we can calculate the probability of one event by adding the probabilities of other events and subtracting the result to 100% (total events).

• 35% (probability the porridge is cold) + %50 (probability the prorridge is hot) = 85%

• 100% - 85% = 15% (probability the porridge is neither hot nor cold or that the porridge is just right).
