The total population sums up to 239 million individuals. To find the probability of selecting a person who is either male or widowed, we consider the relevant totals from each category and use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to avoid double counting.

Description: **Express the following probability as a simplified fraction and as a decimal.**If one person is selected from the population described in the table, find the probability that the person is male or is widowed.**Marital Status of a Certain Population

Given data: The total numbers of the person are n=239 million. The total numbers of males are m=122 million. The total numbers of widowed are w=11 million. The expression for the probability that a person is selected at random either a male or a widowed is, P(Y)=mn+wn=m+wnSubstitute the given values in the above expression. P(Y)=122+11239=133239 Thus, the probability that a person is selected at random, either a male or a widowed is 133/239.
