What year was probability discovered?
Probability is a concept that cannot be "discovered." The concept of probability is ingrained in any complex organism's thought process through evolution and has been ever since complex thought evolved. To survive, animals are constantly taking statistics, weighing odds, figuring out what course of action will lead to survival. For example, an owl might hunt at night and decide to target a certain area of hunting ground, deciding that it is more probable that prey might be found in that area. However, as a formal category of mathematics, theories regarding probabilities can be developed or "discovered." See the related question below.
What does it mean to find the compliment of the probability of an event?
The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.

If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability of getting tails no more then 2 times?
The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5
If the odds against an event are 9.8 find the probability that the event will occur?
Odds against A = Probabillity against A / Probability for A Odds against A = (1 - Probabillity for A) / Probability for A 9.8 = (1 - Probabillity for A) / Probability for A 9.8 * Probability for A = 1 - Probability for A 10.8 * Probability for A = 1 Probability for A = 1 / 10.8 Probability for A = 0.0926
