Given data

Sample size ( Total possible outcomes ) = 25000

Number of households reported they had no firearm ( Required outcomes ) = 17000

The empirical probability that a randomly-selected household had no firearms in their home​


\begin{gathered} =\frac{N\text{umber of required outcomes }}{N\text{umber of total possible outcome}}\text{ } \\ =\text{ }(17000)/(25000) \\ =\text{ }(17)/(25) \end{gathered}

Final answer

= 0.68
