Step-by-step explanation

The probability that Event A happening is the following:


P(A)

The probability of Event A not happening is the following:


100-P(A)

Therefore, we have:


P(Malfunctioning)+P(Non\text{ Malfunctioning\rparen=100\%}

Plugging in the terms into the expression:

1.8 + P(Not malfunctioning) = 100%

Subtracting -1.8 to both sides:


P(Not\text{ malfunctioning\rparen=100-1.8}

Subtracting numbers:


P(Not\text{ malfunctioning\rparen=98.2}

In conclusion, the probability of not malfunctioning is 0.982
