Mavis is interested in whether military dependency is related to gender in American Samoa. Here is data she collected about the population of American Samoa in 2010.

Millitary status _________ female ____ Male

In armed forces _________ 28 _______ 59

Millitary dependent ______ 928 ______ 781

Civilian _______________ 26393 ___27330

Answer:

Male = 0.4193

Female = 0.5087

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the marginal distribution of gender :

Total number of civilians (male + female)

(26393 + 27330) = 53,723

Male :

P(male) = number of male / total

P(male) = 26393 / 53,723 = 0.4912793

P(Female) = number of Female / total

P(Female) = 27330 / 53,723 = 0.5087206
