Data from Office on Smoking and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, indicate that 35% of adults who did not finish high school,33% of high school graduates, 22% of adults who completed some college, and 12% of college graduates smoke. Suppose that one individual isselected at random and it is discovered that the individual smokes. Use the probabilities in the following table to calculate the probability thatthe individual is a college graduate.EducationNot a high school graduate 0.0975High school graduateSome college, no degreeEmployed Unemployed0.0080Associate DegreeBachelor DegreeAdvanced Degree0.31080.17850.08490.19590.09750.01280.00620.00230.00410.0015Probability = |proportion ofHints: This problem has all the information you need, but not in the typical ready-to-use form. The table above can tell you tpeople with various levels of education in the population. Keep in mind that any degree (Associate, Bachelor, or Advanced) counts as graduatingfrom college.
