If an event has a probability of "A", the complement of that event will have a probability of "1 - A".

Now, given the probability of an event is 3/25, we can easily find the probability of the complement of that event to be:


\begin{gathered} 1-(3)/(25) \\ =(25)/(25)-(3)/(25) \\ =(22)/(25) \end{gathered}

The answer is:


(22)/(25)
