Answer:

Odds for male= 1.538

Odds for female =  0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for odds, not a probability. A probability shows how much the chance for the event to happen, so it can be expressed as a percentage. Odds show how the event more likely to happen compared to the chance it did not happen. If an event has a 90% probability, the odds will be 90:10= 9

In this case, the odds of selecting a male will be:  

number of male : number of female= 20:13 = 1.538

The odds of selecting a female will be

number of female : number of male = 13/20 = 0.65

Let's see all the steps: 
1)  operation  : 5 options
2) only one option: we ignore it
3) the third operation: 6 options
4): 2 options.


So we have 5 options, 6 options and 2 options: and they are independent of each other. This means that we multiply the numbers, and 5*6*2=60 So the answer is 60!
