Question

A study conducted by the Metro Housing Agency in a midwestern city revealed the following information concerning the age distribution of renters within the city. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Age	Adult Population, %	Group Who Are Renters, %
21-44	46	62
45-64	31	45
65 and over	23	65

(a) What is the probability that an adult selected at random from this population is a renter?


(b) If a renter is selected at random, what is the probability that he or she is in the 21-44 age bracket?


(c) If a renter is selected at random, what is the probability that he or she is 45 years old or older?

Answer 1

This is because the group '45 years old or older' includes both '45-64' and '65 and over' groups.
