Hi  
                   18-24 25-34 35-55 ≥55 Total
Liked Crunchicles    39   27    24   42   132
Disliked Crunchicles 28   15    17   30    90*
No Preference        16   22    24   16    78
Total                83   64    65   88**   300
P(18-24 |Dis C) = (28/90*) =  14/45    

P(Dis C) = 90/300 = 3/10

P(35-55 0r Likes C) = 65/300 + 132/300 - 24/300 = 172/300 = 43/75

P( >70 & likes) = 42/88** = 21/44
