Question 800625: A study of consumer smoking habits includes 168 people in the 18-22 age bracket (48 of whom smoke), 131 people in the 23-30 age bracket (36 of whom smoke), and 99 people in the 31-40 age bracket (28 of whom smoke). If one person is randomly selected from this sample, find the probability of getting someone who is age 18-22 or does not smoke.
My Work:
168+131+99=398
168-48=120
120/398=0.302
My study guide shows the answer = 0.839, I do not know how to get this answer.

P(18 22 or DNS) -------- P(18 22) or P(DNS)
P(18 22) + P(DNS) P(18 - 22 & DNS)
P(18 - 22 or DNS): , or
