    reaction within 5 minutes after 5 minutes row total

    none 420 50 470

    mild 60 330 390

    strong 20 120 140

    column total 500 500 1,000

    What is the probability that a person selected at random had no reaction.

    470 / 1000 = 0.47

    0.47 x 100% = 47%

    There is a 47% probability that a person selected at random had no reaction.
