Solution

To find the probability that a resident was not vaccinated and lived, we need to multiply the probability of not being vaccinated by the probability of surviving given that they were not vaccinated.

  1. The probability of not being vaccinated is 96.08% or 0.9608 in decimal form.

  2. The probability of surviving given not being vaccinated is 85.88% or 0.8588 in decimal form.

  3. Multiply these two probabilities together:

    0.9608 * 0.8588 = 0.8254 or 82.54%

So, the probability that a resident was not vaccinated and lived is 82.54%.
