P(Ac)=P(not A)=1P(A)
P(BorA)=P(AB)P(A)=P(AandB)P(A)
  Female  Male  Total  Almost no chance 9698194 Some chance but probably not 426286712 A 50-50 chance 6967201416 A good chance 6637581421 Almost certain 4865971083 Total 236724594826
We note that the table contains information about 4826 young adults
Moreover, 194 of the 4826 young adults have the opinion "Almost no chance” because 194 is mentioned in the row ” Almost no chance” and in the column "Total " of the table. This then implies that 4826194=4632 young adults do not have the opinion of "Almost no chance"
The probability is calculated by dividing the number of likely outcomes by the total number of outcomes:
P(Nc)=# of favorable outcomesof possible outcomes=46324826
96 of the 4826 young adults are female and have the opinion ” Almost no chance”, because 96 is mentioned in the row ” Almost no chance” and in the column *Female” of the given table. Since there are 2367 females, 236796=2271 of the 4826 young adults did not have the opinion ” Almost no chance.” P(McandNc)=# of favorable outcomesof possible outcomes=22714826
P(Mc|Nc)=P(McandNc)P(Nc)=2271482646324826=22714632=75715440.4903=49.03%
