I believe you need it to figure out the total population of females who do not commute, from which you can then subtract from the total population (male and female) who do not commute to find the answer.

You're right - my phone crack obscured the "not" in

"What percentage of the total Centerville population are males who do not commute to work daily?"

Otherwise you do need that first bit.
