Answer
$\frac{61}{71}$
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 Marines.
P(is not in the Marines) = 1 - P(is in the Marines)
P(is not in the Marines) = $\frac{200000}{1420000}$ = $\frac{20}{142}$ = $\frac{10}{71}$
P(is not in the Marines) = 1 - $\frac{10}{71}$
= $\frac{71 - 10}{71}$ = $\frac{61}{71}$
