    a) 0.437; b) 0.291

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For part a,

    There are 280+210 = 490 people that are over 18 years old. Out of these, 119+95 = 214 purchase 2 pairs of jeans annually. This is

    214/490 ≈ 0.437

    For part b,

    There are 87+69+74+11 = 241 people who purchase 3 or more pairs of jeans. There were a total of 220+290+280+210 = 1000 people; this means there were 759 people tho purchased fewer than 3 pairs of jeans.

    Out of these, 21+74+126 = 221 were in the age group 12-18. This gives us

    221/759 ≈ 0.291
