To find the probability that the student selected is male, given that their primary motivation is a sense of giving to society, we need to look at the table and find the intersection of the "Sense of Giving to Society" row and the "Male" column.
The number in the intersection of these categories is 11.
The total number of students with a primary motivation of a sense of giving to society is 43.
To find the probability, we divide the number of students in the intersection by the total number of students in the "Sense of Giving to Society" row:
P(Male | Sense of Giving to Society) = 11/43 ≈ 0.26
Therefore, the probability that the student selected is male, given that their primary motivation is a sense of giving to society, is approximately 0.26.
