The total number of employees is 600. Out of these, 400 have college degrees. There are 100 single employees, which means 600 - 100 = 500 are married. Since 60 are single college graduates, the number of married college graduates is 400 - 60 = 340. Therefore, the probability that an employee is married and has a college degree is 340/600 = 0.567.
