under 35 35-44 45-54 55-64 over 64 Total
Male 5 --- 2 -- 7-- 2 ---17 ----------33
Female 12 --1--- 2 ---3----1 ----------19
Total 17 ---3--- 9--- 5---- 18-------- 52
Age 35-44 has 3 people.
there are 52 all together.
The probability is therefore 3/52 or the appropriate decimal.

.

Select the horizontal line "Total", the lowest horizontal line.

In this line, find the cell in the column under 35-44.

Take the number from this cell.

Relate this number to the GRAND TOTAL, which is 52.

This ratio/(fraction) is your answer.
