For this problem the universe is the number of raspberry plants which has a total of 340 possible outcomes. The event of the problem is "The raspberry are ready for picking" and it has 181 favorable outcomes; now, the complement of this event will be "The raspberry are not ready for picking" and to get its outcomes we subtract the number of plants that are ready to the total number of plants:


340-181=159

Therefore, the number of outcomes for the complement is 159
