Number total of Male students: M=120+100+130+150→M=500
Number total of Female students: F=150+100+110+175→F=535
Number total of students: T=M+F=500+535→T=1,035

Probability of select a female: P(F)=F/T
P(F)=535/1,035
P(F)=107/207
P(F)=0.516908213
P(F)=0.5169
P(F)=0.5169*100%
P(F)=51.69%

Answer: The odds in favor of selecting a female are 0.5169 or 51.69%
