If a stock is selected at random what is the probability


An investment analyst collects data on stocks and notes whether or not dividends were paid and whether or not the stocks increased in price over a given period. Data are represented in the following table:

Price increase       No price increase     Total

Dividends paid      34                78                112

No Dividends paid      85                49                134

Total              119               127               246
