Answer

$P(female~and~survived)=\frac{316}{2224}\approx0.1421$

Work Step by Step

Use relative frequency: Empirical Approach (page 258) The sample space: 2224 passengers. So, $N(S)=2224$ According to the cell in the first row, second column: $N(female~and~survived)=316$ $P(female~and~survived)=\frac{N(female~and~survived)}{N(S)}=\frac{316}{2224}\approx0.1421$
