The National Health Examination Survey reported that in a sample of 13,546 adults, 6638 had high cholesterol (total cholesterol above 200/mgdL ),m8263 were overweight (body mass index above 25), and 4335 were both overweight and had high cholesterol. A person is chosen at random from this study. Round all answers to four decimal places. What is the probability that the person has high cholesterol? What is the probability that the person does not have high cholesterol? What is the probability that the person is overweight or has high cholesterol?
