Suppose there is a 18.6% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a smoker. In addition, there is a 12.5% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a male, given that he or she smokes. what is the probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and smokes? Would it be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is a male and smokes.

 

The probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and smokes is [__] round to the 3rd decimal place.

Would it be unusual
