.

The probability that one single college graduate student has a job  within a year of the graduation is 0.35+0.25 = 0.6.


The probability that of 2 randomly selected college graduate students at least one of them has a job is

     P = 0.6 + 0.6 - 0.6*0.6 = 0.84.    ANSWER



Use the formula  P(at least one) = P(one) + P(other) - P(both).


I assume also that getting the job for two students are independent events.

Round as you want (or as you need).
