    If the probability of an event occurring is 7%, what is the probability of an event not occurring?

    The probability of all event is 1, or 100%.

    If we treat the success of an event as p, then q is 1 - p.
    Using percentages, we have:
    q = 100% - p

    Given p = 7%, we have:
    q = 100% - 7%
    q = 93%
