    22/45

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let A be the event of drawing a multiple of 2,

    So,

    p (A) = 23/45

    Now, let A' be the opposite (complementary) event which means not drawing a multiple of 2

    From the properties of probability, the sum of an event's probability and its opposite (complementary) event's probability is equal to 1.

    p (A) + p (A') = 1

    We have to find the probability of not drawing a multiple of two i. e. p (A')

    p (A') = 1-p (A)

    =1 - 23/45

    = (45-23) / 45

    =22/45

    So the probability of not drawing a multiple of 2 from the hat is 22/45.
