Determine the probability that neither had traditional insurance.

The solution by @Theo is incorrect.
I came to bring a correct solution.
First, we have 33 + 27 + 15 = 75.
Next, probability of the first person selected not having traditional insurance is = .
Probability of the second person selected not having traditional insurance is .
Probability that both selected didn't have traditional insurance is = 0.4065 (rounded).
ANSWER. The probability that neither had traditional insurance is about 0.4065 (rounded).

Tutor Theo seems to have mixed up "no insurance" with "not having traditional insurance". The second option could mean they have a managed health care plan or no insurance at all.
33 with managed care + 15 with no insurance = 48 people out of 75
48/75 = probability of selecting one such person
47/74 = probability of selecting another such person where the 1st person was not replaced
(48/75)*(47/74) = 376/925
376/925 = 0.406486486486 approximately
The "486" portion of the decimal repeats forever.
Answer
Exact fraction form = 376/925
Approximate decimal form = 0.406486486486
It's about a 40.65% chance of happening
Your teacher didn't state what format s/he wants the answer to be in, so you'll have to ask your teacher.
