The Attempt at a Solution

I'm not sure how to go about this one. I'm pretty comfortable with the beginning probability stuff, but I'm sure as to which equation applies here. If someone can point me in the right direction I would be so grateful.

Thank you very much.

What is the sum of the probabilities that i) the carton contains at least one cracked egg and ii) the carton contains no cracked eggs?

Think about it, if the probability of having AT LEAST 1 is 0.04, what is the probability of having NONE?

For another question with a similar answer that may help you understand what the question is asking:

If the probability of winning a draw is 5%(no ties are possible), what is the probability that you will lose? Well what are the possibilities... You could either win or lose. So if you have a 5% chance of winning, you must have a 95% chance of losing.

edit: As Dick said, the sum of all the possible outcomes is always 1.00 (100%). So p(at least 1) + p(0) = 1, right?

That completely makes sense now. I feel kind of stupid now cause it's actually super easy.

Thank you for helping.
