  We don ot have the data that is "shown here." However, for "West and No," find that cell and divide by the grand total. For the "South or Midwest or Yes," find each of those totals and divide each by the grand total. For "either-or" probabilities, you have to add these individual probabilities. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
