A person from this area is chosen at random. Let \(M\) be the event that the person is male and let \(E\) be the event that the person is employed.
- Find \(P(M)\).
- Find \(P(M \text{ and } E)\).
- Are \(M\) and \(E\) independent events? Justify your answer.
- Given that the person chosen is unemployed, find the probability that the person is female.
