43.3% of respondents are straight. 58.4% are cisgender. If we assume there's no correlation between being straight and being cis, then 43.3% of cis people will also be straight. That gives us 43.3% × 58.4% = 25.3% of respondents being both cis and straight. 25.3% of 950 is 240 people.

So uhh, just for fun I calculated it through with every branch of the tree and drew it. It's off by 00,01% so the total of everything combined is 99,99%

Just to clarify for others: "no correlation" means that they are not related to each other.

So we're calculating the probability of us picking a random person that is both cis and straight. This means the probability always stays the same since it doesnt depend on any other probability

If we assume there’s no correlation between being straight and being cis

There's actually a ton of correlation between cis and straight while there's tons of correlation between trans and gay. In a nutshell identity and attraction are independent biological factors: There's proportionally about as many gay cis folks as there's straight trans folks, or differently speaking with trans folks the attraction follows the statistical distribution of the assigned-at-birth sex.

It's enbies and inter folks I think were all bets are off regarding attraction, would have to look at those studies again and please don't ask me where to find them I have no idea it's been a while.

Given that I'd ballpark cishets at about 40%, thereabouts.
