Answer:

P(B) = 0.46

Explanation:

Probability

The complementary event of a given event A is defined as "not A" or the event that A does not occur.

For example, if A is defined as 'getting a job', then the complement of A is 'not getting a job'.

Event A and its complementary event (call it B) must satisfy:

P(A) + P(B) = 1

If we know P(A)=0.54, then

P(B) = 1 - P(A)

P(B) = 1 - 0.54

P(B) = 0.46
