Answer

$P(male~|~4)=\frac{2}{9}\approx0.2222$

Work Step by Step

According to the marginal distribution (see page 235) of the fifth column: $N(4)=36$ According to the cell in the second row, fifth column: $N(male~and~4)=8$ Using the Conditional Probability Rule (page 288): $P(male~|~4)=\frac{N(male~and~4)}{N(4)}=\frac{8}{36}=\frac{2}{9}\approx0.2222$
