Answer

P(male) $=\frac{8642}{17042}\approx0.507$

Work Step by Step

The sample space (in thousands): $2328+2509+898+654+5416+5237=17042$ individuals of the civilian labor force ages 16 to 19. So, N(S) = 17042. There were a total of $2328+898+5416=8642$ male individuals of the civilian labor force ages 16 to 19. So, N(male) = 8642 (in thousands). P(male) = $\frac{N(male)}{N(S)}=\frac{8642}{17042}\approx0.507$
