a. Find the probability that a U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS is male and the probability that a U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS is female.
b. Find the probability that a male U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS was exposed by injection drug use (possibly combined with male-to-male sexual contact) and the probability that a female U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS was exposed by injection drug use.
c. Find the probability that a U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS is male and was exposed by injection drug use (possibly combined with male-to-male sexual contact) and the probability that a U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS is female and was exposed by injection drug use.
d. Find the probability that a male U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS was exposed by heterosexual contact and the probability that a female U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS was exposed by heterosexual contact.
e. Find the probability that a U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS is male and was exposed by heterosexual contact and the probability that a U.S. adult or adolescent diagnosed with AIDS is female and was exposed by heterosexual contact.

Write a statement about the percentage of TV households in the population who tuned into the final episode of "Still Hanging On." a. The margin of error is ± %. (Do not round until the final answer.
