Homework Help: AP Statistics

Posted by K on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 1:29am.

If you know that a randomly chosen person 25 years of age or older is a college graduate, what is the probability that he/she is in the force labor? Show your work.

Given for college graduates:
total pop = 51,582
in labor force = 40,390
employed = 39, 293

I tried using the Case 1 equation but I am sure that I used the numbers incorrectly because I kept on getting big numbers like 400 or something. Please help?

Thanks!
