(a) Are the events "have a Bachelor's Degree" and "never married" independent? Explain.
The probability of the event "have a Bachelor's Degree" is affected by the occurrence of the event "never married", and the probability of the event "never married" is affected
by the occurrence of the event "have a Bachelor's Degree", so the events are not independent.
(b) Suppose a woman in the country aged 25 years or older is randomly selected. What is the probability she has a Bachelor's Degree and has never married? Interpret this probability.
