Question

the table below shows the results of a survey that asked 2871 people whether they are involved in any type of charity work. a person is selected at random from the sample. complete parts (a) through (d).

\

$$\begin{tabular}{ccccc} & frequently & occasionally & not at all & total \\\\ male & 225 & 452 & 793 & 1470 \\\\ female & 209 & 450 & 742 & 1401 \\\\ total & 434 & 902 & 1535 & 2871 \\end{tabular}$$

(a) find the probability that the person is frequently or occasionally involved in charity work.

p(being frequently involved or being occasionally involved) = 0.465
(round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

(b) find the probability that the person is female or not involved in charity work at all.

p(being female or not being involved) =
(round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
