2.  Given that last week, we observed the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, the following problem is quite pertinent. The table below describes the number of men, women and children who were passengers on the Titanic.

The table lists both the number who survived as well as the number in each category who died.

Titanic Mortality Data
      
                Men      Women        Boys        Girls             Totals

                1692         422          64            45                2223

If we were to randomly select one passenger:
a. Find the probability that the selected passenger is male.
