### Educational Website Content: Probability in Context of Degree Fields

#### Context:
In a study on bachelor’s degrees among male and female students in a specific region, the table below provides data on the number of students who received degrees in a particular field and those who received degrees outside that field. A student is selected at random, and the exercise is to determine various probabilities based on this data.

#### Table:
| Gender   | Degrees in Field | Degrees Outside of Field | Total       |
|----------|------------------|--------------------------|-------------|
| Males    | 151,656          | 584,107                  | 735,763     |
| Females  | 131,259          | 806,217                  | 937,476     |
| **Total**| 292,915          | 1,390,324                | 1,683,239   |

#### Probabilities to Determine:
1. **Probability that the student is male or received a degree in the field:** 
   - Calculate: \( P(\text{Male or Degree in Field}) \)
   - Formula: \( P(\text{Male}) + P(\text{Degree in Field}) - P(\text{Male and Degree in Field}) \)
   
2. **Probability that the student is female or received a degree outside of the field:**
   - Calculate: \( P(\text{Female or Degree Outside Field}) \)
   - Formula: \( P(\text{Female}) + P(\text{Degree Outside Field}) - P(\text{Female and Degree Outside Field}) \)
   
3. **Probability that the student is male and received a degree outside of the field:**
   - Calculate: \( P(\text{Male and Degree Outside Field}) \)
   - Formula: \( \frac{\text{Number of Males With Degrees Outside Field}}{\text{Total Number of Students}} \)

4. **Probability that the student is female and received a degree in the field:**
   - Calculate: \( P(\text{Female and Degree in Field}) \)
   - Formula: \( \frac{\text{Number of Females With Degrees in Field}}{\text{Total Number of Students}} \)

#### Instructions:
- Insert the appropriate values into the formulas and solve.
- Round all probability values to three decimal places as necessary.

#### Interactive Table Tool:
- Use interactive features to modify the input data if needed.
