Question

Five years after 650 high school seniors graduated, 400 had college degree and 310 were married. Half of the students with a college degree were married. What is the probability that a student has college degree or is not married? Enter your answer in simplified fraction form; example: 33/51

Answer 1

`(51)/(65)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the given data

There are 650 total people, of them 200 are married with a college degree, 200 are unmarried with a college degree,

Step 2: Subtract 100 from the number of people married

310 - 200 = 110 are married without a college degree

Step 3: Subtract the college degree-holders and result found from the total

650 - 400 - 110 = 140 are unmarried without a college degree

Step 4: Add the result to the college degree-holders

140 + 400 = 540 people who have a college degree or are not married.

Therefore, the probability is 54/65 or
`(51)/(65)`
