Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the total number of species

First, calculate the total number of species by summing all the values in the table. The table includes endangered and threatened species in the United States and abroad for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

\[ \text{Total species} = (64 + 249 + 9 + 25) + (87 + 169 + 17 + 8) + (15 + 64 + 24 + 15) + (10 + 7 + 9 + 5) \]

\[ \text{Total species} = 347 + 281 + 118 + 31 = 777 \]

Step 2: Identify the number of endangered foreign birds

From the table, the number of endangered foreign birds is 169.

Step 3: Calculate the probability

The probability \( P(\text{endangered foreign bird}) \) is the number of endangered foreign birds divided by the total number of species.

\[ P(\text{endangered foreign bird}) = \frac{169}{777} \approx 0.217 \]

Round the result to at least three decimal places:

\[ P(\text{endangered foreign bird}) \approx 0.217 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{0.217}\)
