Given:
total number of males in attendance = 10
total number of females in attendance = 8
total number of people in attendance = 18
total number of males aged 50+ = 4
total number of females aged 50+ = 2
total number of males below 50 = 10-4 = 6
Probability of selecting male or below 50:
[tex] \frac{10}{18} + \frac{6}{18} = \frac{8}{9} [/tex]
