Question 1168537: Given the table.

......|Yes. | No. | Maybe.
Male: 0.077 | 0.139 | 0.337
Female:0.173 | 0.139 | 0.135
What is the probability that a randomly selected person is Male who will answer "Yes" or "No"?
Would it be like P(M|YorN)= P(M) + P(YorN) - P(M/YorN)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
.

Start your solution by noticing that the sum of all 6 numbers in the table is equal to 1.



It means that all listed subsets are disjoint.



From this point, complete the assignment on your own.



Let your common sense guides you.
