1. **State the problem:** We have data on advanced degrees earned by sex and type. We want to find probabilities related to doctor's degrees and gender.
2. **Data summary:**
- Male Bachelor's: 90
- Female Bachelor's: 120
- Male Master's: 212
- Female Master's: 121
- Male Doctor's: 111
- Female Doctor's: 100
3. **Total degrees awarded:**
$$\text{Total} = 90 + 120 + 212 + 121 + 111 + 100 = 754$$
4. **(a) Probability of a doctor's degree:**
Total doctor's degrees = $111 + 100 = 211$
$$P(\text{Doctor's}) = \frac{211}{754} \approx 0.280$$
5. **(b) Probability the person is female:**
Total females = $120 + 121 + 100 = 341$
$$P(\text{Female}) = \frac{341}{754} \approx 0.452$$
6. **(c) Probability the person is female given a doctor's degree:**
$$P(\text{Female} | \text{Doctor's}) = \frac{\text{Female Doctor's}}{\text{Total Doctor's}} = \frac{100}{211} \approx 0.474$$
7. **(d) Probability the person has a doctor's degree given female:**
$$P(\text{Doctor's} | \text{Female}) = \frac{\text{Female Doctor's}}{\text{Total Female}} = \frac{100}{341} \approx 0.293$$
