Explicação
## Step 1: Identify the relevant data### We need to find the probability that a randomly chosen resident aged 30-49 has completed a bachelor's degree and no more. The relevant age groups are 30-39 and 40-49.## Step 2: Calculate the total number of residents aged 30-49### Sum the totals for the age groups 30-39 and 40-49:
## Step 3: Calculate the number of residents aged 30-49 with a bachelor's degree### Sum the number of residents with a bachelor's degree in the age groups 30-39 and 40-49:
## Step 4: Calculate the probability### The probability is the ratio of the number of residents aged 30-49 with a bachelor's degree to the total number of residents aged 30-49:
## Step 5: Simplify and round the probability### Perform the division and round to the nearest thousandth:
