Answer:

Explanation:

What is the probability that a randomly selected person with adequate lung capacity is a non-exerciser?

This depends on statistics given in the prior part of the question.

From this question, i can pick that there is an assumption or statement (in the full question) that exercisers have adequate lung capacity, in a population of both exercisers and non-exercisers.

Data that will help solve this include:

- Population Count or Total number of subjects in the population

- Number of exercisers

- Number of non-exercisers

- Number of subjects with adequate lung capacity

- Number of subjects with inadequate lung capacity

The formula to get the desired answer would be:

Number of non-exercisers

Number of persons with adequate lung capacity

The figure you get from this computation is the answer you seek!

Since it is a probability figure, it must lie between the values of 0 and 1.
