Answer:

P(A) represents the probability that an adult has blue eyes.


P(A^c) represents the probability that an adult does not have blue eyes.

Explanation:

Given the event:

A: an adult has blue eyes

The complement of a set is another set that contains all the elements that are not in the original set.

Hence, the event
A^c must be:


A^c: an adult does not have blue eyes

So P(A) represents the probability that an adult has blue eyes and
P(A^c) represents the probability that an adult does not have blue eyes.
