Answer 4

male or fit?

Answer 5

so 24 are male and 60 are fit

Answer 6

If it was an "and " then the answer would be %4.8
But if it were an "and" then the probability of getting a male would be %40.0
And the probability of getting a fit person would be 12%

Answer 7

59/125
13/25
56/125

Answer 8

59/125 = 47.2%

Answer 9

56/125

Answer 10

@eliassaab can u help please?

Answer 11

It is 59/125. Let me tell you why
\[
P(Man \cup Fit) =
\\P(Man) + P(Fit) - P( Man \cap Fit)=\\
\frac {200}{500} + \frac {60}{500} - \frac {24}{500}=\frac{59}{125}

\]

Answer 12

how do you get the 24/500 ?

Answer 13

its not 56/125
