Projected Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic/Latino U.S. populations (in thousands) for 2025 are given in the following table.$$\begin{array}{|l|r|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}\text { Type } & \text { Number } \\ \hline \text { Hispanic/Latino } & 58,930 \\ \text { White } & 209,117 \\ \text { Black } & 43,511 \\ \text { Native American } & 2,744 \\ \text { Asian } & 20,748 \end{array}$$Assume that these projections are accurate. Estimate the probability that a U.S. resident selected at random in 2025 is (a) Hispanic/Latino. (b) not white. (c) Native American or black. (d) What are the odds that a randomly selected U.S. resident is Asian?
