Answer: 0.479

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, we can say that:

A = Americans that believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

B = Americans that do not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

P(A) + P(B) = 1

52.1% + P(B) = 1

0.521 + P(B) = 1

P(B) = 1 - 0.521

P(B) = 0.479
