Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to find the probability of the complement of event A, denoted as P(A) P(\overline{A}) . The complement rule states that the probability of event A not occurring is equal to 1 minus the probability of event A occurring.

2. Relevant Concepts

The formula for the probability of the complement event is: P(A)=1P(A) P(\overline{A}) = 1 - P(A)

3. Analysis and Detail

We know that: P(A)=0.05 P(A) = 0.05 Now applying the complement rule: P(A)=1P(A)=10.05 P(\overline{A}) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.05

4. Verify and Summarize

Doing the calculation: P(A)=10.05=0.95 P(\overline{A}) = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95 Thus, the complement of event A occurring has a probability of 0.95.

Final Answer

P(A)=0.95 P(\overline{A}) = 0.95
