Answer:The probability of the complement of an event is one minus the probability of the event. Since the sum of probabilities of all possible events equals 1, the probability that event A will not occur is equal to 1 minus the probability that event A will occur.

Step-by-step explanation:Complement of an Event: All outcomes that are NOT the event. So the Complement of an event is all the other outcomes (not the ones we want). And together the Event and its Complement make all possible outcomes.
