Answer : D

We will use the formula of probability:-

\text {P}=\frac{\text {favourable outcome}}{\text {Total possible outcome}}

Total possible outcomes =642

Favourable outcomes =514

Required probability

=\frac{514}{642}=0.800

So if a person is selected at random, the probability that the person has a high school certificate is 0.8

Therefore option (D) is correct.
