To find the probability that a worker is not an Independent, we first calculate the total percentage of workers who are Independents, which is $17\% + 20\% = 37\%$. Since the question asks for the probability of not being an Independent, we subtract this from 100\%: $100\% - 37\% = 63\%$. Therefore, the probability is $0.63$ when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
