See attached file also where formatting is conserved:
Let the probability that Jill be accepted at University A = P(A) = 25.00%
The probability that Jill will not be accepted at University A= Q(A)=1-P(A)= 75.00%

Let the probability that Jill be accepted at University B = P(B) = 35.00%
The probability that Jill will not be accepted at University B= Q(B)=1-P(B)= 65.00%

Notation: 25% is also written as 0.25 and so on
