TopicConditional Probability
TypeBasic two-way table probability

  1. A company has 1825 employees.
The employees are classified as professional, skilled or elementary.
The following table shows
  • the number of employees in each classification
  • the two areas, \(A\) or \(B\), where the employees live
\cline { 2 - 3 } \multicolumn{1}{c|}{}\(\boldsymbol { A }\)\(\boldsymbol { B }\)
Professional740380
Skilled27590
Elementary26080
An employee is chosen at random.
Find the probability that this employee
  1. is skilled,
  2. lives in area \(B\) and is not a professional. Some classifications of employees are more likely to work from home.
    • \(65 \%\) of professional employees in both area \(A\) and area \(B\) work from home
    • \(40 \%\) of skilled employees in both area \(A\) and area \(B\) work from home
    • \(5 \%\) of elementary employees in both area \(A\) and area \(B\) work from home
    • Event \(F\) is that the employee is a professional
    • Event \(H\) is that the employee works from home
    • Event \(R\) is that the employee is from area \(A\)
    • Using this information, complete the Venn diagram on the opposite page.
    • Find \(\mathrm { P } \left( R ^ { \prime } \cap F \right)\)
    • Find \(\mathrm { P } \left( [ H \cup R ] ^ { \prime } \right)\)
    • Find \(\mathrm { P } ( F \mid H )\)
