Total no. of person = 253 i.e n(s)
A. Solution:
no. of adults who prefer watching opera = 27 + 91 = 118
probability of prefer watching opera = 118/253
= 0.466
....................................................................
B. solution:
no. of male = 93 + 27 = 120
probability of male = 120/253
= 0.474
........................................................................
C. solution:
no. of female = 42 + 91 = 133
no. of female prefer watching sports = 42
probability of prefer watching sports if female = 42 / 133
= 0.3158
.........................................................................
D. solution
no. of adults watching sports = 93 + 42 = 135
no. of male watching sports = 93
probability of male if watching sports = 93/135
= 0.68888
..........................................................................
E. solution:
no. of females watching opera = 91
probability of female that watching opera = 91/ 253
= 0.35968
..........................................................................
F. no. of adult who are male or watching sport = 93+ 27 +42 = 162
probability of male or watching sport = 162/253
= 0.6403
