that the political ideology of adults in the United States is very evenly divided. In a USA Today/Gallup survey, 29% were Republicans, 30% were Democrats, and 41% were Independents. In addition, 51% of all Republicans, 16% of all Democrats, and 28% of all Independents describe their political views as conservative. Suppose an adult in the United States is selected at random.
(a) What is the probability (±0.0001) that the adult is a Republican and describes her political views as conservative?

(c) Suppose the adult described his views as conservative.
