Question: I'm getting this wrong and not sure where Im making the mistake. This is what I'm doing: Pedestrian not intoxicated: 70 driver intoxicated: 63 70

I'm getting this wrong and not sure where Im making the mistake. This is what I'm doing:

Pedestrian not intoxicated: 70

driver intoxicated: 63

70 divided by 984= 0.07113821

63 divided by 984= 0.06402439

0.07113821 + 0.06402439= 0.1351626. Round to one decimal place= 13.5 %. This is the wrong answer. Please help!

The table summarizes results from 984 pedestrian deaths that were caused by automobile accidents.

Driver Intoxicated? Pedestrian Intoxicated?
Yes No
Yes 63 70
No 237 614

If one of the pedestrian deaths is randomly selected, find the probability that the pedestrian was not intoxicated or the driver was intoxicated. Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy.
