The accompanying table shows the numbers of male and female students in a certain region who received bachelor's degrees in a certain field in a recent year. A student is selected at random. Find the probability of each event listed in parts (a) through (c) below. Pift Click the icon to view the table. 0 of 1 (a) The student is male or received a degree in the field The probability is (Type an integer or a decimal. Round to three decimal places as needed.)

To find the probability of the event described in part (a), we need to follow these steps: 1. **Extract the known conditions**: We need the total number of male and female students who received bachelor's degrees in the specified field. This information is typically found in the accompanying table. 2. **Calculate the total number of students**: This is the sum of male and female students. 3. **Identify the event**: The event is that a student is either male or received a degree in the field. Since all students in the table received a degree in the field, the probability of selecting a student who is male or received a degree in the field is essentially the probability of selecting any student. 4. **Calculate the probability**: The probability \( P \) of an event is given by the formula: \[ P = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \] Since we don't have the actual numbers from the table, let's denote: - \( M \) = number of male students - \( F \) = number of female students The total number of students \( T \) is: \[ T = M + F \] The probability of selecting a student who is male or received a degree in the field is: \[ P(\text{male or received a degree}) = \frac{M + F}{T} = \frac{T}{T} = 1 \] Now, if you provide the actual numbers from the table, I can calculate the specific probability for you.
