Determine College Education Count: First, we need to determine the number of people with four years (or more) of college. According to the table, there are 23 million males and 21 million females with this level of education, for a total of 44 million people.
Calculate Total Population: Next, we calculate the total population. The table shows that there are 167 million people in total.
Find Odds in Favor: Now, we find the odds in favor of selecting a member with four years (or more) of college. Odds in favor are calculated as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of unfavorable outcomes. The favorable outcomes are the 44 million with four years (or more) of college, and the unfavorable outcomes are the total population minus the favorable outcomes, which is 167 million −44 million =123 million.
Simplify Odds in Favor: The odds in favor are therefore 44 to 123. To simplify, we look for the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 44 and 123. The GCD of 44 and 123 is 1, so the odds in favor cannot be simplified further.
Calculate Odds Against: Now, we calculate the odds against selecting a member with four years (or more) of college. Odds against are the inverse of odds in favor, which means we take the number of unfavorable outcomes over the number of favorable outcomes. The odds against are therefore 123 to 44.
