Sometimes it is easier to figure out the probability that something will not happen than the probability that it will. When finding the probability that something will m happen, you are looking at the complement of an event. The complement is the set of all outcomes in the sample space that are not included in the event. Show two ways to solve the problem below, then decide which way you prefer and explain why. a. The marketing department has interviewed people of all different age groups about the BBQ chicken salad, but now they need information about why the othe salads are less popular. What is the probability that the next person randomly chosen will not prefer the BBQ chicken salad? b.
