Consider the two events. A = [Obese] B = [Male] for persons in the age group 20-39 years old. A survey taken in early 2008 by the National Center for Health Statistics, suggests the probabilities P(A) = 0.24 P(B) = 0.45 P(AB) = 0.18 for a randomly selected person. Determine the probabilities of AB, AB, and AB and fill in the table.

Solution
Consider the table:
| B | B- | ||
| A | 0.18 | 0.24-0.18=0.06 | 0.24 |
| A- | 0.45-0.18 = 0.27 | 0.76-0.18=0.58 | 1-0.24=0.76 |
| 0.45 | 1-0.45=0.55 | 1 (always) |
