$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Step2: Calculate number of inmates who do not take classes

Number of inmates who do not take classes \(=456 + 367=823\)

Step3: Calculate the probability

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of inmates who do not take classes}}{\text{Total number of inmates}}=\frac{823}{1051}\approx0.831\)

Answer:

$0.831$
