Step 1 :Given the total number of people surveyed is 2861, the total number of males is 1479, the total number of people frequently involved in charity work is 434, and the number of males frequently involved in charity work is 228.
Step 2 :Calculate the probability of a person being male, which is the number of males divided by the total number of people. \(P(\text{Male}) = \frac{1479}{2861} = 0.517\)
Step 3 :Calculate the probability of a person being frequently involved in charity work, which is the number of people frequently involved divided by the total number of people. \(P(\text{Frequently Involved}) = \frac{434}{2861} = 0.152\)
Step 4 :Calculate the probability of a person being a male and frequently involved in charity work, which is the number of males who are frequently involved divided by the total number of people. \(P(\text{Male and Frequently Involved}) = \frac{228}{2861} = 0.080\)
Step 5 :Calculate the probability of a person being male or frequently involved in charity work using the formula \(P(A \text{ or } B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \text{ and } B)\). Substituting the calculated probabilities, we get \(P(\text{Male or Frequently Involved}) = 0.517 + 0.152 - 0.080 = 0.589\)
Step 6 :Final Answer: The probability that the person is male or frequently involved in charity work is approximately \(\boxed{0.589}\)
