Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the probability of success and failure are complements (i.e. add up to 1), we can find the probability of failure by subtracting the probability of success from 1:

P(failure) = 1 - P(success)
P(failure) = 1 - 0.18
P(failure) = 0.82

Therefore, the best choice is D.
