Answer
$\frac{85}{142}$
Work Step by Step
The probability that an event E will not occur is equal to 1 minus the probability that it will occur.
P(not E)= 1 - P(E)
Find the probability that a person randomly selected from the military population is not in the army.
P(is not in the Army) = 1 - P(is in the Army)
P(is in the Army) = $\frac{570000}{1420000}$ = $\frac{57}{142}$
P(is not in the Army) = 1 - $\frac{57}{142}$
= $\frac{142 - 57}{142}$ = $\frac{85}{142}$
