Request for Answer Clarification by billbauer-ga on 13 Dec 2005 16:16 PST

Sorry, would it at all possible for you to tell me the number of 

a)  Americans over 30
b)  American men over 30
c) American women over 30?

Your answer gives the probability that any given person over 18 is a
person over 30 who has never been married.

I would like to know the probability that one has never been married
given one is over 30.  Now that I have your data, I could compute the
probability that I would like to know.  All I need is to know the
number of people who are over 30 [instead of the number who are over
18].

Thanks!!!!

women over 30 have never been married.  Thank you for your help!

>So, it looks 14% of men over 30 and 10% of women over 30 have never been married.<

Yes, I calculated 13.8% of men and 9.7% of women over 30 have never been married.

And, 11.6% of all Americans over 30 have never been married.

Thanks!
