Question

a group of people were asked if some psychics can help solve murder cases. 479 responded \yes\, and 492 responded
o\. find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, the person does not believe some psychics can help solve murder cases.

probability = (round to 4 decimal places)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people

$479 + 492=971$

Step2: Determine number of people who don't believe

The number of people who responded "no" is 492.

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability $P$ that a randomly - chosen person does not believe is $\frac{492}{971}\approx0.5067$

Answer:

$0.5067$
