To find the probability of not E when given that P(E) = 0.05, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Relationship Between Events The probability of an event and the probability of its complement (not E) always add up to 1. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ P(E) + P(\text{not } E) = 1 \] ### Step 2: Substitute the Given Probability We know from the problem that: ...
