We are asked to find the probability that the student was male, given that they received an "A". This is a conditional probability problem, where we need to find:

\[
P(\text{Male} \mid A)
\]

The formula for conditional probability is:

\[
P(\text{Male} \mid A) = \frac{P(\text{Male} \cap A)}{P(A)}
\]

### Step 1: Determine \( P(\text{Male} \cap A) \)
From the table, the number of males who received an "A" is 18. Since the total number of students is 61, we have:

\[
P(\text{Male} \cap A) = \frac{18}{61}
\]

### Step 2: Determine \( P(A) \)
The total number of students who received an "A" is 25 (both male and female), so:

\[
P(A) = \frac{25}{61}
\]

### Step 3: Calculate \( P(\text{Male} \mid A) \)

Now, applying the formula for conditional probability:

\[
P(\text{Male} \mid A) = \frac{\frac{18}{61}}{\frac{25}{61}} = \frac{18}{25}
\]

Thus, the probability that the student was male, given they received an "A", is:

\[
P(\text{Male} \mid A) = \frac{18}{25} = 0.72
\]

The probability is \( 0.72 \), or 72%.
