Answer: 0.8953 (approximate)
The more accurate value is 0.89528093209023; however, it's not entirely exact either. Round that however you need.
===========================================================
Explanation:
There are 774,517 males and 1,400,843 people who got their degree outside of the field. Add those values
774,517+1,400,843 = 2,175,360
This unfortunately double counts the number of males who got their degree outside of the field (576,228) so we need to subtract that count off
2,175,360 - 576,228 = 1,599,132
------------------------
There are 1,599,132 people who are either
- A) male
- B) got their degree outside the field, or,
- C) both male and got their degree outside the field
This is out of 1,786,179 people total.
We'll divide these two values to get the final answer
(1,599,132)/(1,786,179) = 0.89528093209023
It's not clear how your teacher wants you to round this. If you round it to say 4 decimal places, then you'd get approximately 0.8953
The chances of the student not being a female or receiving their degree outside the field is roughly 89.53%
