Hi

Recommend Completing Table with Totals prior to answering Questions:

                    yes     no    Tot

male                  40     90    130

female               50      70    120

Tot                   90    160    250

P(male and Likes) =  40/250 = 4/25

P(female and likes) = 50/250 = 1/5
