It seems that the only relevant information in this problem is the population of Utah, and the total U.S. population.
\n" ); document.write( "The probability, P, that the person lives in Utah = Population of Utah divided by the U.S. population:
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2,736,424/303,824,640 = 0.009
\n" ); document.write( "The probability that the person DID NOT live in Utah = 1 - P = 1 - 0.009 = 0.991 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
