Answer 1

We need to find that the probability that the person is male or frequently involved in charity work.

From the attached figure,
Total no of people = 2881
No of Males = 1479No of females who are frequently involved  = 205 ∴ Total no. of males or frequently involved = Sum of both
= 1479 + 205
= 1684∴ Probability = $\frac{Total-no.-of-males-or frequently-involved}{Total-no-of-people}$
= $\frac{1684}{2881}$ ∴ Probability = 58.45%
