You are given the probability that an event will not happen. Find the probability that the event will happen.
$$P \left( E ^ { \prime } \right) = \frac { 5 } { 9 }$$
A) $\frac { 5 } { 9 }$
B) 0
C) 1
D) $\frac { 4 } { 9 }$
E) $\frac { 2 } { 9 }$

The probability that an event will happen is 1 minus the probability that it will not happen. Given $P(E') = \frac{5}{9}$, the probability that the event will happen is $1 - \frac{5}{9} = \frac{4}{9}$.
