Recent surveys from a certain country report that although Internet access has grown rapidly, it's not universal: Only 60% of households have a computer with Internet access. Internet access isn't universal for households that have computers; 18% of households with a computer are not on the Internet. Treat these percentages as probabilities. What is the probability that, among households not connected to the Internet, the household does not have a computer?
