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, was a female with 4 years of college (or more).

	less than 4 years high school	4 years high school only	some college (less than 4 years)	4 years college (or more)	total
male	12	22	17	21	72
female	17	32	22	19	90
total	29	54	39	40	162

the probability that a randomly selected citizen, aged 25 or over, was a female with 4 years of college (or more) is \\(\square\\).
(type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of favorable outcomes

The number of females with 4 years of college (or more) is \(19\) million.

Step2: Determine the total number of outcomes

The total population aged 25 and over is \(162\) 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, \(P = \frac{19}{162}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{19}{162}\)
