Question

Given that the student is male what is the probability that he considers himself to be a "Liberal"? Round your answer to three decimal places if necessary.

Answer 1

If you focus on the "Male" row, you'll see that there are 48 liberals out of 124 surveyed men.

So, the probability of having a liberal, knowing that he's a male, is

`(48)/(124)=0.3870967742\approx 0.387`
