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.
