Solution

- The event is "73% of nineteen year old males are at least 166 pounds"

- The complement of this event is the set of all 19 year old males not in the event described above.

- These set of 19 year olds, must represent the remaining 27% of the population.

- Also, they would weigh less than 166 pounds.

- Thus, the complement of the event is:

"27% of nineteen year old males weigh less than 166 pounds"
