SUMMARY

The probability that a woman over the age of 25 does not have a bachelor's degree is calculated as 1 minus the probability that she does have one. Based on data from the Census Bureau, there is a 0.218 probability that a randomly selected woman over 25 holds a bachelor's degree. Therefore, the probability that she does not have a bachelor's degree is 0.782. This conclusion is derived from the fundamental principles of probability regarding mutually exclusive events.

based on the data from the census bureau, when a woman over the age of 25 is randomly selected, there is a 0.218 probability that she has a bachelor degree. if a woman over the age of 25 is randomly selected, find the probability that she does not have a bachelors degree

That she has a degree or does not have a degree are mutually exclusive events. What do you know about probabilities of mutually exclusive events?
