Question

use the table to find the probability
p(the degree is not a bachelor’s, given that the recipient is
female)
the probability that the degree is not a bachelor’s given that the recipient is female is
(round to two decimal places as needed.)

projected number of degree
recipients in 2010 (thousands)
degree\tmale\tfemale
associate’s\t276\t306
bachelor’s\t422\t871

Explanation:

Step1: Find total female recipients

Add female Associate's and Bachelor's recipients:
$306 + 871 = 1177$

Step2: Find non-Bachelor's female recipients

Identify female Associate's recipients:
$306$

Step3: Calculate conditional probability

Divide non-Bachelor's female by total female:
$\frac{306}{1177} \approx 0.26$

Answer:

0.26
