Explanation / Answer

Part a

Required probability = total number of males of 21 to 34 years / total number of males

Required probability = 14759/42227 = 0.349516

Required probability = 0.350

Part b

Required probability = total number of males of 21 to 34 years / total number of persons of 21 to 34 years

Required probability = 14759/19157 = 0.770423

Required probability = 0.770

Part c

Correct Answer: C. The driver is more likely to be male because the probability is greater than 0.5.
