According to a recent report, 66.4% of men and 50.9% of women in a certain country were overweight. This study only used binary gender options. Given that 48.6% of adults in the country are men and 51.4% are women, find the probability that a randomly selected adult in the country fits the following description. (a) An overweight man (b) Overweight (c) Are the events that an adult is a man and that an adult is overweight independent? Explain.
