(A) $(i)$ The sum of the probabilities of an event $E$ and its complement 'not $E$' is always $1$. Thus,$P(E) + P(\text{not } E) = 1$.
$(ii)$ The probability of an event that cannot happen is $0$. Such an event is called an impossible event.
$(iii)$ The probability of an event that is certain to happen is $1$. Such an event is called a sure event or a certain event.
