Step 1. Given Information

The given data is that there is a 34% probability that a U.S. pet owner owns a cat.

Step 2. Explanation

If E represents an event and $E$ represents the complement of E then $P (E) = 1 - P (E)$ . It is given that $P (E) = 0.34$

Substitute the given value in the equation and find the required value.

$P (E) = 1 - P (E) = 1 - 0.34 = 0.66$
