Question 766002: A meteorologist says that the probability of snow today is 45%. What is the probability that it will NOT snow?

There are only 2 possible outcomes - either it snows or does not snow.
Sum of probabilities of all possible outcomes = 1 or 100%
Probability that it will snow = 45%
So probability that it will not snow = 100% - 45% = 55%
