257 people were asked, "Does the idea of killing your own food appeal to you, or not?" The accompanying contingency table, cross-classified by gender, is
produced from the 187 respondents. Male Female
Yes 35 20
The probability that a resfondent to the survey is male is the closest to
0.64
0.19
0.38
049
To find the probability that a respondent is male, we need to divide the number of male respondents by the total number of respondents.
The total number of respondents in the contingency table is 35 + 20 = 55.
Therefore, the probability of a respondent being male is 35/55 = 0.64.
So, the closest option is 0.64.
