What is the Complement of an Event?
Note:
When you learn about probablilities, the complement of an event is a must-know term! This tutorial introduces you the complement of an event.
Background Tutorials
-
Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.

What is Probability?
Probability can help you solve all sorts of everyday problems, but first you need to know what probability is! Follow along with this tutorial to learn about probability!

-
Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., 'rolling double sixes'), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.
-
What is an Outcome?
When you're conducting an experiment, the outcome is a very important part. The outcome of an experiment is any possible result of the experiment. Learn about outcomes by watching this tutorial!
-
What is a Sample Space?
In an experiment, it's good to know your sample space. The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment. Watch this tutorial to get a look at the sample space of an experiment!
-
Further Exploration
-
Describe events as subsets of a sample space (the set of outcomes) using characteristics (or categories) of the outcomes, or as unions, intersections, or complements of other events ('or,' 'and,' 'not').
