To find the probability that both selected adults say Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II, you can follow these steps: 1. **Calculate the probability for the first adult:** There are 311 respondents who said Franklin Roosevelt was the best president out of 2062 total respondents. \[ P(\text{first adult}) = \frac{311}{2062} \] 2. **Calculate the probability for the second adult (without replacement):** After selecting the first adult, there are now 311 - 1 = 310 adults who said Franklin Roosevelt was the best president out of a total of 2062 - 1 = 2061 respondents. \[ P(\text{second adult}) = \frac{310}{2061} \] 3. **Multiply these probabilities:** \[ P(\text{both adults}) = P(\text{first adult}) \times P(\text{second adult}) = \left(\frac{311}{2062}\right) \times \left(\frac{310}{2061}\right) \] Now performing the multiplication: \[ P(\text{both adults}) = \frac{311 \times 310}{2062 \times 2061} = \frac{96410}{4250522} \approx 0.0227 \] So, rounding to three decimal places, the probability that both adults say Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II is **0.023**.
