Detailed Solution

There are 5000 -1200 = 3800 people under 30 if 1200 are above 30.
The proportion of women under 30 is 3000 - 200 = 2800
Consequently, there are 200 over 30 and 2800 under 30 women.
The percentage of women over 30 is P(E) = 2003000 = 115
Probability that she is above 30 years of age: 115
