a) Explain what is wrong with the interpretation. "The probability of a yes response for males is 2.6 times the probability of a yes response for females." Give the correct inter- pretation.

b) The odds of a yes response equaled .82 for males. What is the probability of a yes re- sponse for males?

c) Based on the odds of .82 for males and the odds ratio of 2.6, find the probability of a yes respouse for females.
