To find the probability that a respondent is male, we need to divide the number of male respondents by the total number of respondents.
The total number of respondents in the contingency table is 35 + 20 = 55.
Therefore, the probability of a respondent being male is 35/55 = 0.64.
So, the closest option is 0.64.
