The required probability is 31% and 14.5%.

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

Here,
Number of patients who got surgery  = 398,
63% of  percent said they had a major improvement in their condition,
= 0.63 * 398 ≈ 250
29% among those who received nonsurgical treatment,
= 0.29 * (803 - 398)
= 0.29 * 405
≈ 117

Now,
The probability that a patient had surgery and experienced a major improvement in his or her condition.
= 250 / 803
= 31%

The probability that a patient received nonsurgical treatment and experienced an improvement in his or her condition.
= 117 / 803
= 14.5%

Thus, the required probability is 31% and 14.5%.
