Suppose you are going to randomly sample 1 individual from a population of 140 people.
In the population, there are 50 children younger than 12, 70 teenagers, and 40 adults.
What is the probability the individual you select will be a teenager or an adult?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


50 + 70 + 40 = 160,  which is not  140.


Are you sure you correctly use the numbers ?
