The complement of an event is all possible outcomes not in the event. For example: If A = at least 3 girls are born to a family with 6 kids. Then A' = A compliment is what happens if there are not at least 3 girls = less than 3 girls born to the family. A useful formula: P(A) + P(A' ) = 1 or P(A') = 1 - P(A). If P(A) = 0.194, what is P(A')?
