(a) What is the probability that a respondent 18–29 years of age thinks that global warming will not pose a serious threat during his/her lifetime? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) What is the probability that a respondent 30+ years of age thinks that global warming will not pose a serious threat during his/her lifetime? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) For a randomly selected respondent, what is the probability that a respondent answers yes?
(d) Based on the survey results, does there appear to be a difference between ages 18–29 and 30+ regarding concern over global warming?
