Solution :

P(2 states or more | college degree)

[tex]$=\frac{\text{P( 2 states or more and college degree)}}{\text{P(college degree)}}$[/tex]

Total number of people = 58

The number of people who lived in two states or more than two states and also have a college degree = 18

Therefore,

[tex]$\text{P(2 states or more states and college degree)} = \frac{18}{58}$[/tex]

The number of people who have a college degree = 20

So, [tex]$\text{P(college degree)} = \frac{20}{58}$[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]$\text{P(2 states or more/college degree)}=\frac{\frac{18}{58}}{\frac{20}{58}}$[/tex]

                                                      [tex]$=\frac{18}{20}$[/tex]

                                                      = 0.900
