  If one of the 1156 people is randomly selected, find the probability that the person is a man or a
  heavy smoker.
  A) 0.511 B) 0.554 C) 0.596 D) 0.557

Question 2

If a game were fair, the payoff on a bet would be the same as the odds for the event. In
  one game, the odds for winning are 1:13.
 
  If the game were fair, what would the payoff be
  for a 5 bet? Of course, games in casinos are designed to make a profit for the casino
  investors. Supposing the casino makes the payoff at 1:11 odds, what profit does the casino
  make on your winning bet?
