A study of consumer smoking habits includes 193 people in the 18-22 age bracket ( 60 of whom smoke), 127 people in the 23-30 age bracket ( 35 of whom smoke), and 96 people in the 31-40 age bracket ( 23 of whom smoke). If one person is randomly selected from this sample, find the probability of getting someone who is age 23-30 or smokes.
