Answer:
0.006795
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: The table of the question is attached as picture below
Total number of heavy smokers = 36+ 37 = 73
Total men and women = 880
We need to know the probability of selecting two DIFFERENT heavy smokers.
Probability of (First person selected is a heavy smoker) = 73/880
Discarding the first person, now you have 879 subjects left and 72 heavy smokers left.
So, Probability of Second person selected is a heavy smoker) = 72/879
Probability of 2 different people selected are heavy smokers) = 73/880 * 72/879
= 5256 / 773520
= 0.006795
