D Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of an event not occurring is 1 - P(event). Here, 1 - 0.24 = 0.76. In percentage, this is 76%.

AI explanation

The sum of the probability of an event occurring and the probability of it not occurring is always 1. Since the probability of getting a 5 is 0.24, the probability of not getting a 5 is 1 minus 0.24, which is 0.76. To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100 to get 76%. The result is 76%.
