Find the following probability of selecting the driver. Round your answers to three decimal places.P (male and age 20) =

Answer 1

There are 1625 males of 20 years out of a total of:

`4746+4517+1625+1553+1679+1627=15747`

To find the probability of choose a male and at age 20, we divide the possibilities by the total:

`(1625)/(15747)\approx0.103194`

the probability of choose a male and at age 20 is 0.103
