If one student was chosen at random,
find the probability that the student was male.

Probability =  (Round to 4 decimal places)

To find the probability that a randomly chosen student is male, we need to use the formula for probability:

\[
P(\text{{Male}}) = \frac{\text{{Number of Male Students}}}{\text{{Total Number of Students}}}
\]

### Step 1: Determine the number of male students.
From the table:
- Male students with grade A = 5
- Male students with grade B = 9
- Male students with grade C = 10

Total number of male students:

\[
5 + 9 + 10 = 24
\]

### Step 2: Determine the number of female students.
From the table:
- Female students with grade A = 11
- Female students with grade B = 17
- Female students with grade C = 8

Total number of female students:

\[
11 + 17 + 8 = 36
\]

### Step 3: Calculate the total number of students.
\[
24 + 36 = 60
\]

### Step 4: Calculate the probability.
\[
P(\text{{Male}}) = \frac{24}{60} = 0.4
\]

Thus, the probability that the randomly chosen student is male is:

\[
\boxed{0.4000}
\]
