A poll showed that 67.3% of Americans say they believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life. What is the probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol.

The percentage of Americans who **do not** believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is the complement of those who do. This can be found by subtracting the percentage of believers from 100%.

\[
\text{Percentage of non-believers} = 100\% - 67.3\% = 32.7\%
\]

Thus, the probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe is **32.7**.
