What is the probability that the person surveyed is male and a democrat? There were $295$ people surveyed. Of those $295$ people, $141$ were male, and $21$ were democrats. There was a total of $75$ democrats. What is the probability that the person surveyed is both male and a democrat? I thought it would be $$\frac{141}{295} \times \frac{21}{75}$$ but that was not correct

This question might be simpler than you think. The question states that within the 141 males, 21 were democrats. The probability of randomly selecting someone who is both male and a democrat is simply the number of those with that property (21) divided by total number of possible selections (295). $$P(\text{male and democrat}) = \frac{21 \text{ male democrats}}{295 \text{ surveyed}}$$
