In a telephone survey of 1000 adults, respondents were asked about the expense of a university education and the relative necessity of some form of financial assistance. The respondents were classified according to whether they currently had a child in university and whether they thought the loan burden for most university students is too high, the right amount, or too little. The proportions responding in each category are shown in the probability table in Table 4.5. Suppose one respondent is chosen at random from this group.

1. What is the probability that the respondent has a child in university? 2. What is the probability that the respondent does not have a child in university? 3. What is the probability that the respondent has a child in university or thinks that the loan burden is too high?
