Answer: 0.2356 and 0.1444

Explanation:

62% of Americans go on Vacation

So out of 100 Americans, 62 go on vacation

The chance of one of them NOT going on vacation is 100-62 or 38%, however, the other person has to go on vacation, so it's 38%*62% or 0.2356, approx 40%*60% or 0.24

The chance of both of them do not go on vacation is 38%*38%, or 0.1444 or approx 40%*40% or 0.16 (very rough calculating)

Answer: 0.6156 or in fraction form, 62%

Step-by-step explanation: To find the probability that at least one of the two people does not go on vacation, we subtract the probability that both of them go on vacation from 1. The probability that both go on vacation is 0.62 * 0.62 = 0.3844.

Therefore, the probability that one or both of them does not go on vacation is 0.6156, or about 62%.
