1. **Problem statement:** We are given probabilities related to the election of two members, Avantika and Jyotsna, and we need to find the probability that both are not elected together.
2. **Given:**
- Probability Avantika is elected: $P(A) = 0.8$
- Probability Jyotsna is elected: $P(J) = 0.3$
- Probability at least one is elected: $P(A \cup J) = 0.9$
3. **Formula used:**
The probability of the union of two events is given by:
$$P(A \cup J) = P(A) + P(J) - P(A \cap J)$$
4. **Find the probability that both are elected together:**
Rearranging the formula:
$$P(A \cap J) = P(A) + P(J) - P(A \cup J)$$
Substitute the values:
$$P(A \cap J) = 0.8 + 0.3 - 0.9 = 0.2$$
5. **Find the probability that both are not elected together:**
This is the complement of both being elected together:
$$P(\text{not both elected}) = 1 - P(A \cap J) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8$$
**Final answer:** The probability that both Avantika and Jyotsna are not elected together is **0.8**.
