If probability of happening of an event is $57%$, then probability of non-happening of the event is
(A) $0.43 $
(B) $0.57 $
(C) $53%$
(D) $\frac{1}{57}$
This Question has 1 answers.
The probability of an event happening is given as $ \displaystyle 57\% $.
Since the total probability of all possible outcomes is always $ \displaystyle 1 $ (or $ \displaystyle 100\% $), the probability of the event not happening is:
$ \displaystyle P(\text{not happening}) = 1 - P(\text{happening}) $
$ \displaystyle = 1 - 0.57 $
$ \displaystyle = 0.43 $
