total 322 76 10 408

a) If a student is chosen at random, find the probability of getting someone who is a non-smoker. Round your answer to three decimal places.

322/408= 0.789215686 0.789

b) If a student is chosen at random, find the probability of getting someone who is a regular or heavy smoker. Round your answer to three decimal places.

0.18627451+ 0.0245098 = 0.210784314= 0.211
