Probability is the likelihood that something will occur. If you subtract it from 1, we get the likelihood (or probability) that it will not occur.
If a coin is tossed and rolls heads 6 times, the (empirical) probability of obtaining a head is 6/10 or .6.
1-.6 =.4 is the empirical probability (or likelihood) of not getting a head.
probability
The probability that an event will occur plus the probability that it will not occur equals 1.
The probability that something will happen is the number of times that that something can occur divided by the number of times that anything can occur. An example would be to consider a standard deck of 52 cards. There are 4 sevens in the deck, so the probability of drawing a seven is 4 in 52, or 1 in 13, or about 0.0769.
These events are complementary. Let P(A) = probability event will occur. Then the probability it will not occur is: 1 - P(A).
compliment- it's a word for the probability minus one, so it something has a .6 probability, the probability(compliment) it woun't occur is .4 The answer for the Statistic Crossword Puzzle is "odds"

Zero.
It is 1.
probability is the chance or likely hood that something will occur
probability
Probability is the likelihood of something happening. It is the extent to which something is likely or unlikely to occur.
Probability is a numeric expression of the "odds" that something will happen.
The probability that an event will occur plus the probability that it will not occur equals 1.
The probability that something will happen is the number of times that that something can occur divided by the number of times that anything can occur.
