Question

prison education in a federal prison, inmates can select to complete high school, take college courses, or do neither. the following survey results were obtained using ages of the inmates. choose a prisoner at random. find the following probabilities. round the answers to at least three decimal places. part: 0 / 3 part 1 of 3 the probability that the prisoner does not take classes is

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of inmates

The number of inmates who do not take classes (Neither) is \(456 + 367=823\).
The total number of inmates is \(54 + 108+456+29+37+367 = 1051\).

Step2: Calculate the probability

The probability \(P\) that a randomly - chosen prisoner does not take classes is given by the formula \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\).
So \(P=\frac{823}{1051}\approx0.823\).

Answer:

\(0.823\)
