A trade-off relation on our knowledge about two noncommuting observables of a qubit system in simultaneous measurement is formulated. The obtained inequality offers a quantitative information-theoretic representation of Bohr's principle of complementarity, and can be interpreted as a trade-off relation on the asymptotic accuracy of the maximum-likelihood estimation of the probability distributions of observables.
