Explanation:

Step1: Recall marginal - distribution formula

The marginal distribution of males is the proportion of males in the total population. The formula for proportion is $\frac{\text{Number of males}}{\text{Total number of people}}$.

Step2: Identify values from the table

The number of males is 380 and the total number of people is 1000.

Step3: Calculate the proportion
