Answer

P(current cigar smoker) $=\frac{7,866}{137,243}=0.057$

Work Step by Step

The sample space: 137,243 U.S. men. So, N(S) = 137,243 There were a total of $141+7,725=7,866$ U.S. men who were a current cigar smoker. So, N(current cigar smoker) = 7,866 P(current cigar smoker) = $\frac{N(\text{current cigar smoker})}{N(S)}=\frac{7,866}{137,243}=0.057$
