To solve this problem, we need to find the probability that a randomly chosen person believes that some people see the future in their dreams. The total number of respondents is the sum of those who answered "Yes" and those who answered "No."

- "Yes" responses = 196
- "No" responses = 202

**Step 1: Calculate the total number of respondents.**

\[
\text{Total} = 196 + 202 = 398
\]

**Step 2: Probability formula.**
The probability is calculated by dividing the number of people who responded "Yes" by the total number of respondents.

\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{196}{398}
\]

**Step 3: Perform the division and round to four decimal places.**

\[
\frac{196}{398} = 0.4925
\]

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected person believes some people see the future in their dreams is **0.4925**.

**Tip:** When calculating probabilities, always ensure that the total of all possible outcomes (here, "Yes" and "No") is accounted for.

A group of people were asked if some people see the future in their dreams. 196 responded 'Yes', and 202 responded 'No'. Find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, the person believes some people see the future in their dreams.

Calculate the probability from survey data where 196 people believe some see the future in their dreams, and 202 people do not. Find the solution by applying basic probability principles. Suitable for Grades 8-10 students.
