Question

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's most recent data on the marital status of the 242 million Americans aged 15 years and older, 124.2 million are currently married and 74.5 million have never been married. If one person from these 242 million persons is selected at random, find the probability that this person is currently married or has never been married. Explain why this probability is not equal to 1.0.
p = (74.5+124.2)/242

p is not 1.0, because of things called divorce and death.
