Complete question is;

The probability that a comic book reader in a particular city prefers comics published by Company A is 25%. The probability that a comic book reader in the city is male is 70%. If the probability of a comic book reader in the city being a male, given that the reader prefers Company A's comics, is 40%, what is the probability of the reader preferring Company A's comics, given that the reader is a male?

Answer:

0.14 or 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the probability that the comic book readers prefers comics published by company A is 25%.

Thus; P(A) = 25% = 0.25

Also, we are told that the probability that comic book reader is male 70%.

Thus; P(M_r) = 70% = 0.7

We are also told that the probability of a comic book reader being a male, provided that the reader prefers Company A's comics, is 40%.

Thus; P(A|M_r) = 40% = 0.4

To find the probability of the reader preferring Company A's comics, provided that the reader is a male, we will apply baye's theorem.

Thus;

P(M_r|A) = [P(A|M_r) × P(A)]/P(M)

P(M_r|A) = (0.4 × 0.25)/0.7

P(M_r|A) ≈ 0.14

<h3>What is a histogram?</h3>

A diagram is made up of rectangles whose size is related to a variable's frequency and whose width is comparable to the training sample.

A large construction company wants to review the ages of its sales representatives.

A sampling of the ages of 25 sales reps are given:

50, 42, 32, 35, 41, 44, 24, 46, 31, 47, 36, 32, 30, 44, 22, 47, 31, 56, 28, 37, 49, 28, 42, 38, 45.

Then the histogram with frequency table is given as

 Range                Frequency

20 to 24                      2

25 to 29                      2

30 to 34                      5

35 to 39                      4

40 to 44                      5

45 to 49                      5

50 to 54                      1

55 to 59                      1

Then the correct option is A.

The histogram is given below.
