A census of Americans over 60 years of age who have a post-graduate degree examined the relationship
Question:
A census of Americans over 60 years of age who have a post-graduate degree examined the relationship between age and type of post-graduate degree produced the following table of probabilities.
Age | P(Master’s Degree) | P(Professional Degree) | P(Doctorate Degree) |
60–64 | .72 | .18 | .10 |
65–74 | .68 | .17 | .15 |
75+ | .60 | .20 | .20 |
The proportion of Americans 60 years of age and older in each of the age categories is listed next.
P(60–64) = 33%, P(65–74) = 44%, P(75 and older) = 23%
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected American who is older than 60 and possesses a post-graduate degree has a doctorate?
b. Find the probability that an American who is 60 years old with a post-graduate degree has a Master’s degree.
