Answer 1

Answer:

If a resident who is 30-49 years old is chosen at random, the probability that they have completed a bachelor's degree and no more is 29.13%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account the educational table provided, if a resident who is 30-49 years old is chosen at random, to determine what is the probability that they have completed a bachelor's degree and no more the following calculation must be performed:

30-39 Bachelor's degree = 1576

40-49 Bachelor's degree = 443

30-39 Total = 4062

40-49 Total = 2869

4062 + 2869 = 100

1576 + 443 = X

6931 = 100

2019 = X

2019 x 100/6931 = X

201900/6931 = X

29,129 = X

Therefore, if a resident who is 30-49 years old is chosen at random, the probability that they have completed a bachelor's degree and no more is 29.13%.
