b. P(Pass and Graduate)
c.P(Fail/undergraduate /Fail)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Graduate high school students who passed, 125.
Undergraduate students who passed, 280
Total pass,405.
------------------------------------
Graduates who failed 55,
Undergraduates who failed were 50.
Total failed together, both graduates and undergraduates were 105
----------------------
Grand total:: 405+105 = 510
-----------------------------------
Keep in mind::
P(a AND b) = P(a)+P(b)-P(a OR b)
P(a | b) = P(a AND b)/P(b)
---------------------------
How would I solve if given this problem?
a. P(Pass) = 405/510
---------------------------------
b. P(Pass AND Graduate) = 125/510
-------------------------------------------------
c.P(Fail/undergraduate) = 50/510
-------------------------------------
D.P(Graduate/Fail) = 55/105
-------------------------------------
e. P(Pass or Undergraduate) = (405+(280+50) - 280)/510 = 455/510
---------------------
