The probability of nonpayment of student loan, if the student fails.

Explanation:

Given,

J and O incur $25,000 in a student loan.

  • According to the given case, J has completed his graduation, but O fails to graduate. This means that J would have a highly paid job as compared to O, based on the education level.
