Answer 2

\[\begin{matrix}&&\text{male}&&\text{female}\\
\text{drove}&&26&&24\\
\text{didn't drive}&&34&&116\end{matrix}\]
How many total guests were there? (Add up all the elements in the table.) \(x=\cdots\)

How many of these guests happened to be both male and did not drive? \(y=\cdots\)

The probability would then be \(\dfrac{y}{x}\).
