"Given that he is male" is an important phrase here. The "given" in any probability problem is often important. This tells us "only focus on the males" because we know 100% that whoever we picked, the person is a male.

So we only focus on the "male" column. Use a highlighter to mark this column or cover up the other values if they are too distracting. There are 51 males total (bottom row) and 39 males had a flu shot (top row)

Divide the two values: 39/51 = (13*3)/(17*3) = 13/17

Answer: 13/17

The frequency table was made using a box containing slips of paper. Each slip of paper was numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

In order to make a frequency plot first we need to find the proportion of each outcome.

Total number of results = 15+20+5+5+5 = 50

Frequency of 0 = 15
Proportion of 0 = 15/50 = 0.3

Frequency of 1 = 20
Proportion of 0 = 20/50 = 0.4

Frequency of 2 = 5
Proportion of 2 = 5/50 = 0.1

Frequency of 3 = 5
Proportion of 3 = 5/50 = 0.1

Frequency of 4 = 5
Proportion of 4 = 5/50 = 0.1

Now we need to plot the data on a frequency plot. The x-axis shows the outcomes from 0 to 4 and y-axis shows the frequency of each outcomes. The frequency plot is shown in the figure attached with.
