### Question 6 (1 point)

One hundred people were surveyed, and one question pertained to their educational background. The results of this question and their genders are given in the following table.

|                        | Female (F) | Male (F') | Total |
|------------------------|------------|-----------|-------|
| College degree (D)     | 33         | 17        | 50    |
| No college degree (D') | 35         | 15        | 50    |
| Total                  | 68         | 32        | 100   |

#### Question

Assuming these two events are independent, what is the expected value for the number of Females with a College degree?

- [ ] 15
- [ ] 34
- [ ] 17
- [ ] 33
- [ ] 16
- [ ] 35

#### Explanation

The table displays the distribution of 100 surveyed individuals by educational background and gender. It shows the number of people with a college degree and those without, separated into female and male categories. To calculate the expected value for the number of Females with a College degree assuming independence, use the following formula:

\[
E(F \cap D) = P(F) \cdot P(D) \cdot \text{Total number of people}
\]

Where \( P(F) = \frac{68}{100} \) and \( P(D) = \frac{50}{100} \).
