Answer:

1/5 is the chance to call from his neighborhood.

Explanation:

Bruce is going to call a person from his contacts at random.

Out of 25 contacts 20 contacts were from his neighborhood.

Therefore chance to call someone from his neighborhood is 20/25 = 4/5

Now chance that he doesn't call from neighborhood will be = 1 - chance to call from his neighborhood = 1 - (4/5) = 1/5.

1/5 is the answer.
