### Instruction: The probability that a randomly thrown dart will land on a target is $\frac{3}{8}$. What is the probability that the dart will not land on the target? Express your answer as a common fraction.### Response: To find the probability that the dart will not land on the target, I need to subtract the probability that it will land on the target from 1.
This is because the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes must equal 1.
So, the probability that the dart will not land on the target is $1 - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$.
