Answer: Hello there! If you randomly chose a person aged 25 years or older, there is a 27.5% (or 0.275 in decimal form) probability that this person is a jogger, and if this person is a jogger, there is a 13.1% ( or 0.131 in decimal form) probability that this person is a male. Notice that the 13.1% probability of being a male, applies after the 27.5% of being a jogger. the question is: What is the probability that a randomly selected person aged 25 years or older is male and jogs? This is the joint probability of the two events, is the product of theyr probabilities: p = 0.275*0.131 = 0.047 that is equivalent to 4.7%, which means that is unusual to randomly select a person aged 25 years or older who is male and jogs question mark
