Transcribed Image Text:### 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.
