In a local survey, 100 citizens indicated their opinions on a revision to a local land use plan. of the 62 favorable responses, there were 40 males. of the 38 unfavorable responses, there were 15 males. if one citizen is randomly selected find the probability a male and has a favorable opinion

This is a conditional probability. 
Denote the events like this:
F: Getting a favorable response .
First compute the number of participants: 62+38= 100.
The number of Male with favorable opinion: 40. 
We deduce the probability:
[tex]P(F\vert M)=\dfrac{40}{100}=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]
