A.

\(\frac{3}{10}\)

B.

\(\frac{2}{9}\)

C.

\(\frac{5}{18}\)

D.

\(\frac{7}{10}\)

Correct answer is D

\(\frac{\text{education}}{\text{graduates}} = \frac{108}{360} \times 4320\)

= 1296

Pr(Education) = \(\frac{1296}{4320} = \frac{1}{10}\)

pr(not education) = 1 - \(\frac{3}{10}\)

= \(\frac{10 - 3}{10}\)

= \(\frac{7}{10}\)
