The data shows the number of advanced degrees (in thousands) eamed in a state during a recent year by sex and type of degree. Find the following probabilities for a person selected at random who received an advanced degree. Complete parts (a)-(d).
(a) The probability that the selected person received a master's degree during the recent year is
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
(b) The probability that the selected person is female is
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed)
(c) The probability that the selected person is female, given that they received a master's degree during the recent year is
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
(d) The probability that the selected person received a master's degree during the recent year given that they are female is
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
Step 1 :Calculate the total number of people who received an advanced degree. This is the sum of all the numbers in the table.
Step 2 :The probability that the selected person received a master's degree during the recent year is the sum of the number of males and females who received a master's degree divided by the total number of people.
Step 3 :
Step 4 :The probability that the selected person is female is the sum of the number of females who received a Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctor's degree divided by the total number of people.
Step 5 :
Step 6 :The probability that the selected person is female, given that they received a master's degree during the recent year is the number of females who received a master's degree divided by the total number of people who received a master's degree.
Step 7 :
Step 8 :The probability that the selected person received a master's degree during the recent year given that they are female is the number of females who received a master's degree divided by the total number of females.
Step 9 :
