You can put this solution on YOUR website! Take a 1000.
=================HS=======A===========B
EMP-------------352.34---203.55-----374.37---930.26
UNEMP-----------33.66-----13.45------22.63---69.74
Total-----------386-------217-------397-----1000
Can fill in the bottom two rows from the data and derive the top row.
Given that someone is employed (930.26) probability they have a bachelor's or more is 374.37/930.26=40.2%
