Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complementary event of A is the event in which the price of a cone costs no more than 50 cents. This is because either the price is more than 50 cents (event A) or it is not (complementary event). Since the possible outcomes for the price range from 11 to 66 cents (inclusive), the only option that includes all prices that are no more than 50 cents is C.
