Avg difficulty 2.5

A survey of a represenative group of students yields the following information:

  1. 52 percent are male
  2. 85 percent live on campus
  3. 78 percent are male or are active in intramural sports (or both)
  4. 30 percent live on campus but are not active in sports
  5. 32 percent are male, live on campus, and are active in sports
  6. 8 percent are male and live off campus
  7. 17 percent are male students inactive in sports

  1. What is the probability that a randomly chosen student is male and lives on campus?
  2. What is the probability of a male, on campus student who is not active in sports?
