To complete the contingency table and answer the question on the intersection of female and Greek, since the initial information includes a conditional statement, you need to calculate the intersection of female and Greek: If P(Greek │ Male) = 40%. And 40% of .45 = .18. Then, Female & Greek = .25 − .18 = .07, or 7%
