Answer: The required probability is 2.24%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Percentage of people are senior citizens ( 65 years old or older ) = 14%
Percentage of people are under 65 years old = 100-14 = 86%
Probability that senior citizens get the flu each year = 16%
Probability that under 65 years old get the flu each year = 30%
So, Probability that a person selected at random from the general population is senior citizen who get the flu this season is given by
Hence, the required probability is 2.24%.
