If an event has a probability P of happening, then there is a probability of (1-P) of the event not happening.

In this case the probability of the event is p=20/69.

Then, the probability of the event not happening is:

P(\text{not happening})=1-p=1-\frac{20}{69}=\frac{69-20}{69}=\frac{49}{69}

Answer: the probability of the event not happening is 49/69.

sergey [27]
<span>You are given the debt collected by Joe Popoff with a 90% of a debt of $5,600.00 that had been overdue 90 days. This collection rate was 5% more than the average collection rate for that agent. The agent charged 25% commission. You are asked to find the net proceeds. 

Amount collected
= $5,600 * 0.90
= $5,040

Commision
= $5,040 * 0.25
= $1,260

Net Proceeds
= $5,040 - $1,260
= $3,780 </span>

640, 160, 40, 10,....
-Dominant- [34]
The pattern is dividing by 4 so it would be: 640 (divided by 4), 160 (divided by 4), 40 (divided by 4), 10 (divided by four), 5/2.
The next number would be 10/4 or 5/2 when simplified. (I’d go with 5/2 because teachers liked simplified numbers)
