1.12 During a radio broadcast on August 16, 1998, David Essel reported the following three statistics:

(1) the U.S. divorce rate is 55%; and when married adults were asked whether they would remarry their spouse, (2) 75% of the women said yes and

(3) 65% of the men said yes.

a. What is the “stay married” rate?

b. There seems to be a contradiction in this information.

How is it possible for all three of these statements to be correct? Explain.
