Explanation / Answer

a) P(male) = 19 / 50 = 0.38

b) P(male and drives a minivan) = 2 / 50 = 0.04

c) P(female) = 31 / 50 = 0.62

d) P(drives an SUV | female) = P(drives an SUV and female) / P(female)

                                               = (7/50) / (31/50)

                                               = 7/31

                                               = 0.2252

e) P(male | drives a car) = P(male and drives a car) / P(drives a car)

                                       = (5/50) / (18/50)

                                       = 5/18

                                       = 0.2778
