Question

the table below shows the educational attainment of a countrys population, aged 25 and over. use the data in the table, expressed in millions, to find the probability that a randomly selected citizen, aged 25 or over, had some college (less than 4 years).

the probability that a randomly selected citizen, aged 25 or over, had some college (less than 4 years) is (type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of favorable outcomes

The number of people with some college (less than 4 years) is \(40\) million.

Step2: Identify the total number of outcomes

The total number of people (aged 25 or over) is \(167\) million.

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability \(P\) is given by the formula \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). So, \(P = \frac{40}{167}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{40}{167}\)
