1. **State the problem:** We have a dartboard with 5 equal slices numbered 1 to 5.
- Slices 2, 3, and 4 are grey.
- Slices 1 and 5 are white.
A dart lands randomly on one slice.
We define event $X$ as landing on a grey slice, and event $\text{not } X$ as landing on a non-grey slice.
2. **Calculate probabilities:** Since all slices are equally likely,
$$P(X) = \frac{\text{number of grey slices}}{\text{total slices}} = \frac{3}{5}$$
$$P(\text{not } X) = \frac{\text{number of non-grey slices}}{\text{total slices}} = \frac{2}{5}$$
3. **Check outcomes for each event:**
- $X$ contains slices $\{2,3,4\}$.
- $\text{not } X$ contains slices $\{1,5\}$.
4. **Subtract:**
$$1 - P(X) = 1 - \frac{3}{5}$$
Show cancellation:
$$1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5}{5} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{\cancel{5}}{\cancel{5}} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$$
5. **Interpretation:**
$$1 - P(X) = P(\text{not } X)$$
This means the probability of not landing on a grey slice is the complement of landing on a grey slice.
**Final answers:**
- $P(X) = \frac{3}{5}$
- $P(\text{not } X) = \frac{2}{5}$
- $1 - P(X) = \frac{2}{5}$
- $1 - P(X)$ is the same as $P(\text{not } X)$.
