Question 478970
The table shows th number of employed and unemployed workers in the United States in thousands in 2000. Assume that on e person will be randomly selected from the group described in the table. 
----------------------------------------

Find the probability of selecting a person who is employed given that the person is male.
----
Note: The "Given" condition becomes your universe.
So you only look for the number of employed on the "male" line.
---------------------------------------
In the table are these #'s under these headings from Left to Right.
             Employed******/*********Unemployed
Male         67761*********/*********2433
Female       58655*********/*********2285
I have tried dividing only the males who are employed by the unemployed males but do not know if that is correct or not.
---
Ans: 67761/(67761+2433) = 0.9653
