| Males | 93 | 1015 | 1108 |
| Females | 700 | 1723 | 2423 |
| Total | 793 | 2738 | 3531 |
**(a)** Find the probability that the student is male or a nursing major.
- P(being male or being nursing major) = 0.512
(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
**(b)** Find the probability that the student is female or not a nursing major.
- P(being female or not being a nursing major) = 0.974
(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
**(c)** Find the probability that the student is not female or a nursing major.
- P(not being female or being a nursing major) = [ ]
