Answer: b. 0.5

Explanation:

We area given that the probability of outcomes A = 0.5

We know that for any event Q the probability of not getting Q is given by :-


P(Q)'=1-P(Q)

Now, the probability of getting outcomes not A is given by :-


P(A)'=1-P(A)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(A)' =1-0.5\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(A)' =0.5

Hence option B is correct.
