What you have to do is take the total people (44) and the male chocolate (13).

you would put the male chocolate/total people

so it would be 13/44, or A

Answer 10

no. it does not say out of student male. It asks for what is the probability of a male asking for chocolate. It does not say, out of the male students, what is the probability and etc.

Trust me on this. I have done many of these problems.
