answer?

OpenStudy (overmanjudy):

I don't understand the problem

OpenStudy (mathmale):

If you were to select ONE person at random from this group (52-57 year olds), the chances that this person would admit to having driven a car while under the influence of alcohol is 0.38: P(has driven a car under the infl. of alc.) = 0.38.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Now you are choosing 2 people at random from this age group. What is the probability that at least one has NOT driven a car while under the infl. of alc.? P(has driven a car under the infl. of alc.) = 0.38/ What is P(has NOT driven a car under the infl. of alc.) ??

may u plz close this

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I think you have inadvertently mixed percentages with decimal fractions. Can't do that. Either 100%-38%=62%, or 1.00-0.38=0.62.
