In this problem, we have been given a table, which is shown over here.
00:05
Now, it is said that one student is selected at random.
00:09
We need to find the probability that the student was male or received a grade of c.
00:13
So let us consider m to be the event that the student was male.
00:18
And let us consider c to be the event that the student received a grade of c.
00:22
And what we have been asked to find is the probability of m union c.
00:26
And this is because union represents or.
00:30
Now, using the addition law of probability, this is equal to p of m plus p of c minus p of m intersection c.
00:40
So first of all, consider p of m.
00:42
That is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.
00:46
Now, from the table, we can see that the total number of outcomes will be 70.
00:51
So we have 70 in the denominator.
00:54
And the number of favorable outcomes will be the number of males...
