a. 0.17

b. 0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering both questions is that we should understand that the probability of an event happening = 1 - the probability of the event not happening

Firstly, we want to calculate the probability of less than four

Probability of less than four = 1 - probability of four or more heads

that is 1 - 0.83 = 0.17

Probability of less than 8 = 1 - probability of 8 or more = 1-0.05 = 0.95

If ten coins are spun together, the probability of four or more heads is 0.83. the probability of eight or more is 0.05. find the probability of:I) less than four. II) fewer than 8
