The probability of selecting at least 6 males out of 8 students, given that 35% of the student body is male, involves calculating the probabilities for exactly 6, 7, and 8 males and summing those probabilities. This can be done using the binomial probability formula, which leads to a small probability, reflecting the rarity of this event given the composition of the student body.
