In a random sample of WKU students, 50% indicated that they are business majors, 40% indicated that they are engineering majors, and 10% indicated that they are other majors. Of the business majors, 60% were females, while 30% of engineering majors were females. Finally, 80% of the other majors were male. Given that a person is male, what is the probability that he is an engineering major?
