Understanding Attitudes of Humans Towards Wildlife Is an Important Step

Essay

Understanding attitudes of humans towards wildlife is an important step in learning how to work with people on wildlife issues. Coyotes have expanded their range throughout the continental United States, even in the Washington, DC area. The data below are from a survey of George Mason University undergraduate students.
$$\begin{array}{l}\text { "How much do you like coyotes?" }\\\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Gender } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Dislike } \\\text { Very } \\\text { much }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Dislike } \\\text { Somewhat }\end{array} & \text { Neutral } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Like } \\\text { Somewhat }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Like } \\\text { Very } \\\text { much }\end{array} & \text { Total } \\\hline \text { Male } & 8 & 12 & 186 & 49 & 25 & 280 \\\hline \text { Female } & 27 & 45 & 330 & 52 & 26 & 480 \\\hline \text { Total } & 35 & 57 & 516 & 101 & 51 & 760 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$ Suppose a newspaper decides to select one of these students at random for an interview.
-What is the probability that the selected student dislikes coyotes somewhat?
2. What is the probability that the selected student is male?
3. What is the probability that the selected student is male, given that he likes coyotes
very much?
4. What is the probability that the selected student dislikes coyotes very much, given
that she is a female?
