Patients | Age < 20 | 20 ≤ Age < 40 | 40 ≤ Age < 60 | Age ≥ 60 | Total |
Male | 64 | 33 | 53 | 68 | 218 |
Female | 56 | 42 | 49 | 66 | 213 |
Probability of a patient being either a male or a female are independent events. | 431 | ||||
Probability of a patient being a Male = 218/431 | 0.506 | ||||
Probability of a patient being a Female = 213/431 = p1 | 0.494 | ||||
Probability of a patient being a Female age<20 = 56/213 = p2 | 0.263 | ||||
Probability of a patient being Female & age<20 = p1*p2 | 0.130 |
