reading & female? 85/996
reading given female? 84/334
reading or female? 410/996
To find the value of P (reading/female), we need to determine the number of females who selected reading as their favorite leisure activity and divide it by the total number of females in the chart.
Looking at the chart, we can see that the value representing females who enjoy reading is 85.
To find the total number of females, we need to sum up the values in the female row. Adding up the values in the female row, we get:
39 + 48 + 85 + 62 + 71 + 29 = 334
So, the total number of females is 334.
Now, we can calculate P (reading/female) by dividing the number of females who enjoy reading (85) by the total number of females (334):
P (reading/female) = 85 / 334
Using a calculator to perform the division, we get:
P (reading/female) ≈ 0.2545
Thus, the value of P (reading/female) is approximately 0.2545.
