A sample of 500 adults were surveyed on their interest in winter activities. 74 of those studied do not like cold weather, yet 88 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.
