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.

What is the mathematical chances that something will occur?
probability
What is the probability of an event occurring to the probability that it will not occur?
The probability that an event will occur plus the probability that it will not occur equals 1.
Define the probability of something happening?
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.
Probability of an event occurring to the probability that it won't occur?
These events are complementary. Let P(A) = probability event will occur. Then the probability it will not occur is: 1 - P(A).
What word describes the probability of an event occurring to the probability that it will not?
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"
