A person is selected at random from the population in Table: Number of Men and Women with Various Levels of Education (in millions) Not a high school graduate | High school graduate | Some college, no degree | Associate's degree | Bachelor's degree | Advanced degree Men | 12 | 29.6 | 14.7 | 7.2 | 17.5 | 11 Women | 13.7 | 39.8 | 17.5 | 9.6 | 18.3 | 9.1 1- What is the probability that the person is a woman with a bachelor's degree? 2- What is the probability that the person is a high school graduate? 3- What is the probability that the person is a man with advanced degree?

The table shows the number (in thousands) of earned degrees, by level and gender, conferred in the United States in a recent year. Gender Male | Female | Total Level of degree Associate's | 451 | 671 Bachelor's | 824 | 1072 Master's | 382 | 529 Doctoral | 90 | 97 Total a) If a person is selected at random, find the probability that the person earned a master's degree or is a male. b) If a person is selected at random, find the probability that the person earned a doctorate given that the person is a female. c) If a person is selected at random, find the probability that the person does not earn an associate degree.
