Generally you should express it as a number between 0 (impossible) and 1 (absolute certainty). Either as a decimal or fraction is OK. For example, the probability of a fair coin toss landing on heads is 0.5. The probability of a fair die landing on 4 is 1/6.
But it's also common to see probability written as a percentage between 0% (impossible) and 100% (absolute certainty). So P(coin landing on heads)=50.0% and P(die landing on 4)=16.7%.

What does it mean to find the compliment of the probability of an event?
The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.The complement (not compliment) of the probability of event A is 1 minus the probability of A: that is, it is the probability of A not happening or "not-A" happening.
