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 male with some college (less than 4 years).

	female	male	total
high school only	24	27	51
some college (less than 4 years)	21	25	46
college 4 years (or more)	24	20	44
total	83	82	165

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

The number of males with some college (less than 4 years) is 21 (from the table). The total number of citizens aged 25 or over is 167 (total in the table).

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability $P$ is given by the formula $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P = \frac{21}{167}$.

Answer:

$\frac{21}{167}$
