Three people are running for president of a class. The results of a poll indicate that the first candidate has an estimated 37% chance of winning and the second candidate has an estimated 44% chance of winning. What is the probability that the third candidate will win?

0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

The are three candidate running for president and we know that probability of winning for first candidate and the probability of winning for second candidate and we have to find the probability of winning for third candidate

P (C1) = 0.37

P (C2) = 0.44

P (C3) = ?

We know that sum of probabilities is always 1. So,

P (C1) + P (C2) + P (C3) = 1

0.37+0.44+P (C3) = 1

P (C3) = 1-0.37-0.44

P (C3) = 0.19

Thus, the probability of winning for third candidate is 0.19.
