Question

the table below shows the educational attainment of a countys 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). (type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

The number of people with some college (less than 4 years) is 43 (from the table), and the total number of people in the population (aged 25 and over) is 170.

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability $P$ of an event is given by the formula $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So, $P = \frac{43}{170}$.

Answer:

$\frac{43}{170}$
