P(Red) = 0.38, then P(Not Red) = 1 – P(Red) = 0.62

P(Not Van) = 1 – P(V) = 1 – 0.24 = 0.76

For the second part, you might want to check your numbers since the total does NOT add up to 1.

First one is asking for the probability of “failure” so to speak so the answer is 1 – 0.38

Second one:

We want the probability of not renting a van, which is 1 – P(V) = 1 – .24
