The table below shows the number of credit cards owned by a group of individuals.
If one person was chosen at random, find the probability that the person had no credit cards and is male.


Zero One Two or
more
Male
9
11
3
Female
4
10
20
Round your answer to two decimal places.

We can solve this probability problem by determining the favorable outcome (i.e., a male with no credit cards) and the total number of individuals in the group.

### Step 1: Total Number of Individuals
To find the total number of individuals, sum the values from all categories:

- **Males**:
  - Zero cards: 9
  - One card: 11
  - Two or more cards: 3
  
  Total males = \( 9 + 11 + 3 = 23 \)

- **Females**:
  - Zero cards: 4
  - One card: 10
  - Two or more cards: 20
  
  Total females = \( 4 + 10 + 20 = 34 \)

The total number of individuals is:
\[
23 + 34 = 57
\]

### Step 2: Favorable Outcome (Male with Zero Credit Cards)
The number of males with no credit cards is 9.

### Step 3: Probability Calculation
The probability is given by the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes:
\[
P(\text{Male with zero credit cards}) = \frac{9}{57}
\]

Simplifying the fraction:
\[
P(\text{Male with zero credit cards}) = \frac{1}{6} \approx 0.17
\]

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen person is a male with no credit cards is **0.17**.
