Answer 1

Probability = Number of moderate high school graduates / Total number of high school graduates
Probability = 16 / (19 + 16 + 15)
Probability = 16 / 50
Probability = 8 / 25

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person from this group is moderate, given they have only a high school education, is 8/25.
