Shown again is the table indicating the marital status of the U.S. population in 2010. Numbers in the table are expressed in millions. Use the data in the table to solve Exercises 1–10. Express probabilities as simplified fractions and as decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth. If one person is randomly selected from the population described in the table, find the probability that the person is male.
