7. Find the point probabilities below, and show your work: a. The probability of graduating from an undergraduate degree is 80%. What is the probability of not graduating  b. 4/10 individuals get a job out of high school and 4/10 go to college. What probability of people do neither?  c. A jar contains 12 red marbles and 8 black marbles. Two marbles are drawn with replacement from the jar (i.e., the first marble was put back in before the second draw).

7. Find the point probabilities below, and show your work:
a. The probability of graduating from an undergraduate degree is 80%. What is the
probability of not graduating 
b. 4/10 individuals get a job out of high school and 4/10 go to college. What probability of
people do neither? 
c. A jar contains 12 red marbles and 8 black marbles. Two marbles are drawn with
replacement from the jar (i.e., the first marble was put back in before the second draw).
What is the probability that both of the marbles are black?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Disclaimer: "As per the guideline we can do only first three sub-part of a question. In order to get the answer of the remaining sub-parts. please re-submit the question by mentioning the sub-parts that needs to be solved."

The probability of the complement of an event A is PAc=1-PA.

The probability that neither A nor B is PAcBc=PABc.
