Solution

The probability of an event not happening is calculated by subtracting the probability of the event happening from 1.

So, in this case, the probability of not winning a prize is calculated as follows:

1 (total probability of all outcomes) - 0.025 (probability of winning) = 0.975

Therefore, the probability of not winning a prize in the raffle is 0.975 or 97.5%.
