Solution

The impossible event has probability 0. The complement of an event A is everything that is not A, with probability P(A') = 1 - P(A). For the impossible event (P=0), its complement is the certain event.

Probability of complement: P(A)=1-P(A)

For impossible event A: P(A)=0

So P(A)=1-0=1

Final answer: 1
