1) The probability that randomly selected student is male given that student is nursing major is 0.1176

Number of students who are in nursing major and are male = 94

Number of students who are in nursing major = 799

The probability that randomly selected student is male given that student is nursing major = 94/799 = 0.1176

2) The probabiolity that randomly selected student is nursing major given that student is male is 0.0784
