Pollsters are concerned about declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys. a pollster contacts 92 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 78 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. when 284 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 265 respond and 19 refuse to respond. assume that 1 of the 376 people is randomly selected. find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who refused to respond.

probability = (total 22-29 age bracket + number of not respond and aged 18- 21) / total people
= (284+14) / 376
= 0.792
= 0.79
