Expert Solution
Step 1

We have given that, 

Discrete probability distribution is :-

Martial status                    probability

Never married                        0.353

Married                                    0.574

Widowed                                 0.002

Divorced                                  0.071

 

Then, 

We will find the probability that a person from the population is either widowed or divorced = ?
