    A. Obtain P (F).

    B. Obtain P (D).

    C. Obtain P (F&D).

    D. Determine P (F or D).

    E. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult is male.

    A. 0.519

    B. 0.107

    C. 0.056

    - P (F&D) = P (F) •P (D) = 0.519•0.107

    D. 0.57

    - P (F or D) = P (F) + P (D) - P (F&D)

    = 0.519 + 0.107 - 0.056

    E. 0.481

    P (male) = P (not female) = 1 - P (female)

    = 1 - 0.519
