Answer 1

The total number of people with only a high school education is 14 + 25 + 20 = 59.
The number of people with only a high school education who are conservative is 20.
So, the probability that a randomly selected person from this group is conservative, given they have only a high school education, is 20/59 ≈ 0.339 or approximately 33.9%.
