In one study, researchers at a clinic looked at more than 120,000 patients enrolled in 14 international studies in the past 10 years. Among the patients with heart problems, researchers found at least one risk factor in 84.8% of the women and 80.8% of the men. If a woman is selected at random from the women with heart problems, what is the probability she has none of the risk factors? Write your answer as a percentage. Hint: The opposite of "none" is "at least one"! %

Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?
