PLEASE HELP!

3. In a survey of 1000 eligible voters selected at random, it was found that 8% had a college degree. Additionally it was found that 80% of those who had a college degree voted in the last presidential election. Whereas 55% of the people who did not have a college degree voted in the last presidential election. Assuming that the poll is representative of all eligible voters, find the probability that an eligible voter selected at random voted. Draw a diagram to represent this situation.




a) If you randomly chose an eligible voter from this group, what is that probability that they have a degree and did not vote?





b) If you randomly chose an eligible voter from this group, what is the probability that they voted?




c) If you randomly chose a person who voted in the presidential election, what is the probability that they had a college degree?​

hello, i'm sorry but i can't graph the diagram but here are the answers for a-c :)

A. 8%

B. 39.6%

C. 58.4%

step by step:

A. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election.

P = 80/1,000

P=0.08*100

P=8%

Therefore the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election will be 8%

B. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election.

P =396/1000

P=0.396*100

P=39.6%

Therefore the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election will be 39.6%

C. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election.

P = 584/1,000

P=0.584*100

P=58.4%

Therefore the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election will be 58.4%
