Problema Solution

3/4 of all persons arrested are male. 3/5 of all persons arrested are white. 1/5 of all persons are black. What proportion of arrested males did not self-identify as racially white or black?

Answer provided by our tutors

1 - ((3/5) + (1/5)) = 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

1/5 of all the persons arrested did not identify as racially white or black.

(3/4)*(1/5) = 3/20  of all the arrested males did not identify as racially white or black.
