Question
The following table represents the highest educational attainment of all adult residents in a certain town. If an adult is chosen randomly from the town, what is the probability that they have a high school degree or some college, but have no college degree?

Solution
First, we need to find the total number of adults who have a high school degree or some college, but no college degree. This is the sum of the "High school only" and "Some college" categories, which is 3968 + 6875 = 10843.
Next, we need to find the total number of adults in the town. This is given in the "Total" row, which is 19138.
The probability that a randomly chosen adult has a high school degree or some college, but no college degree is therefore 10843 / 19138 = 0.5666.
Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the probability is approximately 0.567.
