According to the Current Population Survey, the following table summarizes probabilities for randomly selecting a full-time student in various age groups:

Age

15–17

18–24

25–34

35 or older older

Probability

0.007

0.573

0.260

0.160


If we randomly select a full-time student, what is the probability that he/she is 25 or older?

0.260 0.740 0.420

The answer is impossible to determine from the information given.

Explanation / Answer

P(A or B)=0.2+0.3=0.5

P( A or C)=0.2+0.4=0.6

hence all answers are correct
