Answer

$P(E)=\frac{11}{250}=0.044$

Work Step by Step

1) It is a single event. 2) The outcomes are equally likely. Use the classical method (page 259): Sample space: 500 randomly selected Americans. So, $N(S)=500$ Let $E$ be the event "play soccer". So, $N(E)=22$ $P(E)=\frac{N(E)}{N(S)}=\frac{22}{500}=\frac{11}{250}=0.044$
