You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I believe they are trying to tell you that there is a group of
\n" ); document.write( "\"12%2B40%2B58%2B6%2B52%2B42=210\" people
\n" ); document.write( "that can be classified by age an gender as listed in the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Since there are
\n" ); document.write( "\"12%2B40%2B58=110\" males,
\n" ); document.write( "if one person is randomly selected from that group,
\n" ); document.write( "the probability of selecting a male is \"110%2F210=11%2F21\" (approx. 0.52, or 52%)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The way the question was entered, the number of people under 21 in that group is unknown,
\n" ); document.write( "so we cannot answer that part as posted, but maybe there is a typo.
\n" ); document.write( "As posted, the number of people under 12 is \"12%2B6=18\" , so if they asked you
\n" ); document.write( "the probability to randomly select an individual under 12 from that group,
\n" ); document.write( "the answer would be \"18%2F210=6%2F70=3%2F35\" (approx. 0.0857, or 8.57%).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "There are \"42\" females 31 or older in the group,
\n" ); document.write( "so the probability to randomly select a female 31 or older is
\n" ); document.write( "\"42%2F210=1%2F5=0.2=%2220+%25%22\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
