Total0.0960.190.3830.200.131

Use the probabilities to answer the following questions:

a)What is the probability that a worker selected at random will be a high school graduate or above?

b)What is the probability that a worker selected at random is a college graduate and likes his/her job (i.e. will be satisfied or very satisfied)?

c)Given that a workers education level is less than high school what is the probability that his/her job satisfaction level will be at most 2?

d)Are the events College Graduate and Very Satisfied independent events? Why or why not?
