College degrees. Exercise 12.39 gives the projected counts (in thousands) of earned degrees in the United States in the 2015–2016 academic year. Use these data to answer the following questions.
(a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen degree recipient is a woman?
(b) What is the conditional probability that the person chosen received an associate’s degree given that she is a woman?
(c) Use the multiplication rule to find the probability of choosing a female associate’s degree recipient. Check your result by finding this probability directly from the table of counts.
Exercise 12.39:
College degrees. A striking trend in higher education is that more women than men reach each level of attainment. The National Center for Education Statistics provides projections for the number of degrees earned, classified by level and by the sex of the degree recipient. Here are the projected number of earned degrees (in thousands) in the United States for the 2015–2016 academic year:11

(a) If you choose a degree recipient at random, what is the probability that the person you choose is a man?
(b) What is the conditional probability that you choose a man given that the person chosen received a master’s?
(c) Are the events “choose a man” and “choose a master’s degree recipient” independent? How do you know
