The information on seat belt usage by gender shown below. The proportions in the following table are based on a survey of a large number of adult men and women in the United State. Assume that these proportions are representative of adults in the United States and that a U.S. adult is selected at random. Male Female .10 .195 Uses Seat Belts Regularly Does Not Use Seat Belts Regularly 38 .325 (a) What is the probability that the selected adult regularly uses a seat belt?
