A recent survey showed that 65 adults out of a sample of 500 do not like cold weather. However, 84 of those studied said that they had interest in taking skiing lessons. Based on this sample, if an adult is chosen at random, what is the probability that he or she has no desire to take skiing lessons? Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms or a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth.
