Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The probability that a randomly selected person with multiple jobs is a male or married is 0.782

<h3>How to determine the probability</h3>

The given parameters are:

Sample size, n = 655

Male = 381

Married = 299

Male and Married = 168

The number of those that are male or married is calculated as:

Male or Married = Male + Married - Male and Married

So, we have:

Male or Married = 381 + 299 - 168

Evaluate

Male or Married = 512

The probability is then calculated as:

p = 512/655

Evaluate

p = 0.782

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected person with multiple jobs is a male or married is 0.782
