Given the two-way table, let's find the probability that a student selected at random is a junior student given that it's male.

Total number of students = 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 6 + 3 = 30

Number of male students = 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 14

Number of female students = 3 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 16

To find the probability that a randomly selected student is a junior given that the student is male, we have:

[tex]P=\frac{Number\text{ of male }juniors}{\text{Number of male students}}[/tex]

Where:

Number of male junior students = 2

Number of male students = 14

Thus, we have:

[tex]P=\frac{2}{14}=\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

To write the probability as a percentage, multiply by 100:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{1}{7}\ast100 \\ \\ P=\frac{100}{7}=14.3\approx\text{ 14\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected student is a junior given that it's male is 14%
