Is the question copied correctly ?

If we just have to find probability of self employed, it is going to be 70/248
which does not yield any of the answers given.

If the question is "probability that the person will be self employed but not
married", it will be 31/248 = 1/8. You get 31 because 25% of 156 = 39 and
70-39 = 31 (this is the number of people self employed but not married)
