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:
Answer: the probability of the event not happening is 49/69.
<em>commutative property</em> a + b = b + a
... (-5 + 1/2 + 5) = ... (-5 + 5 + 1/2)
<em>inverse property of addition</em> a + (-a) = a - a = 0
... (-5 + 5 + 1/2) = ... (0 + 1/2)
<em>identity property of addition</em> a + 0 = 0 + a = a
... (0 + 1/2) = ... 1/2
<em>inverse property of multiplication</em> a/b · b/a = 1
37 · 2 · 1/2 = 37 · 2/1 · 1/2 = 37 · 1
<em>identity property of multiplication</em> a · 1 = 1 · a = a
37 · 1 = 37
