In a match between A and B.The  probability of A winning is (4/(11)),  the probabilith of B winning is (2/(11)).  What is the probability if they  were to draw the match?

 Probability to draw the match:      1−((4/(11))+(2/(11)))=(5/(11))
$$\:{Probability}\:{to}\:{draw}\:{the}\:{match}: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\mathrm{1}−\left(\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{11}}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{11}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{11}} \\ $$

why did you add up the 2 probabilities
$${why}\:{did}\:{you}\:{add}\:{up}\:{the}\:\mathrm{2}\:{probabilities} \\ $$
