Trends in categorical data

At a popular rock-climbing site in Yosemite National Park, a randomly selected sample of 200200 climbers are asked whether they have ever had a climbing accident and whether they are certified climbers. The results are shown below.
Suppose you are searching for a climbing partner at Yosemite and you meet Rob, Andrew, and Sarah. Rob thinks of himself as a free spirit - he climbs without any certification. Andrew is hoping to continue his life-long streak of never having a climbing accident. You don't know anything about Sarah.
Use the frequency table below to calculate the following probabilities.
Round to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
Probability that Rob has had an accident ==
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 66
  • an exact decimal, like 0.750.75
  • a simplified proper fraction, like 3/53/5
  • a simplified improper fraction, like 7/47/4
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/41\ 3/4
%\%
Probability that Andrew is certified ==
  • Your answer should be
