In a group of 586 firefighters who reported their glove size, the researchers determined whether the gloves fit well or poorly, by gender. The data are summarized in the accompanying table. Consider the gender and glove fit status of a randomly selected firefighter.

a. List the sample points for this experiment.

b. Assign reasonable probabilities to these sample points.

c. Find the probability the firefighter is a female.

d. Find the probability the glove fits well.

e. Find the probability the firefighter is a female and has a well-fitting glove.
