The total of the class is 100%

45% take the statistics course

Then 1005 - 45% = 55%

There are 55% do not take stats. course

27% of 45% are meal

Then the number of male that take the course = 27% * 45%

27/100 * 45/100 = 0.1215

The probability of the student is male and take stat. course is 0.1215

Now let
