You can put this solution on YOUR website! I believe they are trying to tell you that there is a group of
 people
that can be classified by age an gender as listed in the problem.
Since there are
 males,
if one person is randomly selected from that group,
the probability of selecting a male is  (approx. 0.52, or 52%)
The way the question was entered, the number of people under 21 in that group is unknown,
so we cannot answer that part as posted, but maybe there is a typo.
As posted, the number of people under 12 is  , so if they asked you
the probability to randomly select an individual under 12 from that group,
the answer would be  (approx. 0.0857, or 8.57%).
There are  females 31 or older in the group,
so the probability to randomly select a female 31 or older is
