Questions:

1. Probability that a randomly selected person is male and rides the bus?
2. Probability that a randomly selected person is female and drives a car?
3. Probability that a randomly selected person is male?
4. Probability that a randomly selected person rides the bus?

Let's calculate these probabilities:

1. Probability that a randomly selected person is male and rides the bus:

To find this, we look for the number of males who ride the bus and divide by the total number of people.

$P(\text{Male and Bus}) = \frac{\text{Number of Males on Bus}}{\text{Total Number of People}} = \frac{14}{310}$

2. Probability that a randomly selected person is female and drives a car:

To find this, we look for the number of females who drive a car and divide by the total number of people.

$P(\text{Female and Car}) = \frac{\text{Number of Females Driving Car}}{\text{Total Number of People}} = \frac{95}{310}$

3. Probability that a randomly selected person is male:

To find this, we look for the total number of males and divide by the total number of people.

$P(\text{Male}) = \frac{\text{Total Number of Males}}{\text{Total Number of People}} = \frac{162}{310}$

4. Probability that a randomly selected person rides the bus:

To find this, we look for the total number of people who ride the bus and divide by the total number of people.

$P(\text{Bus}) = \frac{\text{Total Number of People on Bus}}{\text{Total Number of People}} = \frac{42}{310}$
