Pmales = 48% as the passage states.

vuriffy · Answer

100% - 48% = ? for Pfemales

gotquestions281 · Answer

52%

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

p stands for proportion in this case.  Phat is sample proportion

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

it gets confusing in stats since the same letters stand for different things so often

vuriffy · Answer

So, now you have two boxes filled out of the four.
For the sample population, you may divide 11 by 25 for the male proportion. While using the same technique of subtracting that value from 100 for the female proportion.

So it would be 44% for the males and 56% for the females?

vuriffy · Answer

Yes, correct.
Goodjob!
