According to a recent survey, 81 percent of adults in a certain state have graduated from high school. If 15 adults from the state are selected at random, what is the probability that 5 of them have not graduated from high school? (15)(0.19)(0.81)^5 A (15)(0.19)(0.81)^15 B (15)(0.81)^5(0.19)^10 C (15)(0.19)^5(0.81)^10 D (15)(0.81)^5(0.19)^10 E

Among the adults in a large study, 25% have a college degree. A simple random sample of 100 adults is chosen. What is the probability that more than 30 of them have a college degree?

A random sample of 200 adults are classified below by sex and their level of education attained. $$ \begin{array}{lcc} \text { Education } & \text { Male } & \text { Female } \\ \hline \text { Elementary } & 38 & 45 \\ \text { Secondary } & 28 & 50 \\ \text { College } & 22 & 17 \end{array} $$ If a person is picked at random from this group, find the probability that (a) the person is a male, given that the person has a secondary education; (b) the person does not have a college degree, given that the person is a female.
