Giving a test to a group of students, the grades and gender are summarized below

A B C Total Male 15 6 5 26 Female 14 16 10 40 Total 29 22 15 66 If one student is chosen at random, Find the probability that the student was NOT a male that got a "A"
---------------

The full population is 66 persons (! They just calculated it for you in their table - many thanks !) The favorable set to choose from is the entire population except those 15 male that got A. Hence, the probability under the question is = = = = 0.7727 = 77.27%.
