What is a probability?

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. A probability can also be interpreted as a relative frequency.

From the relative frequencies, we have that:

  • The probability that a resident is male and in the age group 60-69 is of 0.19.
  • The probability that a resident is male and in the age group 70-79 is of 0.1.

Hence, the probability that a resident is male and in the age group 60-79 is given by:

p = 0.19 + 0.1 = 0.29.
