A group of 1,000 people filing for unemployment were asked to provide information about their age and education level. Refer to the Venn diagram below of the survey results. Each symbol represents 10 people in the sample of 1,000.

For the given sample 0f 1000,

No High School Diploma; < 55 years = 90 .............................................(1)
No High School Diploma; > 55 years = 40 .............................................(2)
High School Diploma; > 55 years = 30 .............................................(3)

thus, High School Diploma; < 55 years = 1000- (90+40+30) = 840 .........(4)

A. 1 out of 4
B. 3 out of 4 
 C. 4 out of 7 
 D. 7 out of 16

Solution: 
Number of people over 55 - 7*10 - 70
People over 55 with no diploma - 4*10 - 40
Hence probability is 40/70 -  4 out of 7
