Respuesta :

Given that an event is successful 1 out of every 5 attempts, you can determine that the probability of that event is:

[tex]P(A)=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Let be "A" the event.

By definition, the probability of the complement of an event can be calculated by subtraction the probability of the event from 1:

[tex]P(A^{\prime})=1-P(A)[/tex]

Therefore, substituting the probability of the event A into the formula and evaluating, you get:

[tex]P(A^{\prime})=1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{(1)(5)-1}{5}=\frac{5-1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}=0.80[/tex]

Hence, the answer is: Last option.
