Problem 77Multiple Choice
A health poll reports that about of adults in a region exercise regularly. Demographic records show that of adults in this region are daily smokers. Assuming that exercising is independent of daily smoking, the calculated probability that an adult is both a daily smoker and exercises regularly is , which is then used to calculate the probability that an adult either smokes daily or exercises regularly, resulting in a probability of . However, the poll indicates that of adults both smoke daily and exercise regularly. How does this information change the probability that an adult either smokes daily or exercises regularly?
