Step 1 ：The given table shows the number of male and female students who attended two different movies, action and drama.

Step 2 ：We are asked to find the probability that a randomly chosen person from this group is male and attended a drama.

Step 3 ：From the table, we can see that the number of males who attended a drama is 124 and the total number of people is 479.

Step 4 ：The probability is calculated by dividing the number of males who attended a drama by the total number of people.

Step 5 ：Using the formula for probability, \( P = \frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \)

Step 6 ：Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \( P = \frac{124}{479} \)

Step 7 ：Calculating the above expression, we get P = 0.26

Step 8 ：Final Answer: The probability that a randomly chosen person from this group is male and attended a drama is \(\boxed{0.26}\)
