Question
A CBS News poll involved a nationwide random sample of 651 adults, asked those adults about their party affiliation (Democrat, Republican, or none) and their opinion of how the US economy was changing ("getting better," "getting worse," or "about the same"). The results are shown in the table below.

| Party Affiliation | Better | Same | Worse |
|-------------------|--------|------|-------|
| Republican        | 38     | 104  | 44    |
| Democrat          | 12     | 87   | 137   |
| None              | 21     | 90   | 118   |

If we randomly select one of the adults who participated in this study, compute (round to four decimal places):

a. \( P(\text{Democrat}) = \underline{\quad\quad} \)

b. \( P(\text{same}) = \underline{\quad\quad} \)

c. \( P(\text{same} \mid \text{Democrat}) = \underline{\quad\quad} \)

d. \( P(\text{Democrat} \mid \text{same}) = \underline{\quad\quad} \)

e. \( P(\text{Democrat and same}) = \underline{\quad\quad} \)
