Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Specific Outcome of Interest
The specific outcome of interest is: [('No', 'Yes'), ('Yes', 'No'), ('Yes', 'Yes')].
Step 2: Calculate the Relevant Frequencies
The relevant frequencies for the outcome of interest are: 231.
Step 3: Calculate the Total Number of Observations
The total number of observations (N) is: 981.
Step 4: Compute the Probability
The probability of the outcome of interest is calculated as $P = \frac{231}{981}$.
Final Answer:
The probability of the outcome of interest is approximately 0.2.
