Question
The data below was obtained from a random survey of 459459 people. The participants were asked their political party and whether they approve, disapprove, or have no opinion of how the president is doing his job. The results of the survey are as follows:
Democrat | Republican | Independent | Total | |
Approve | 103 | 56 | 8 | 167 |
Disapprove | 109 | 123 | 5 | 237 |
Undecided | 27 | 28 | 5 | 55 |
Total | 239 | 207 | 18 | 459 |
If a person if selected at random, what is the empirical probability that the the person approves of the job the president is doing or is an independent?
