Answer

a. 0.06 b. 0.5 c. 0.94

Work Step by Step

Note: it says half of the college graduates so P(married and graduate) is 0.44 * 0.5 = 0.22 a. P(not married and not graduate) = 1 - P(married or graduate) = 1 - (P(married) + P(graduate) - P(married and graduate)) = 1 - P(married) - P(graduate) + P(married and graduate) = 1 - 0.72 - 0.44 + 0.22 b. P(married and not graduate) = P(married) - P(married and graduate) = 0.72 - 0.22 = 0.5 c. P(married or graduate) = P(married) + P(graduate) - P(married and graduate) = 0.72 + 0.44 - 0.22 = 0.94
