A company has 200 employees there are 150 female employees. 40 employees are under the age of 20. The probability of randomly selecting an employee who is female or is under the age of 30 is 85%. What is the probability of randomly selecting an employee who is female and under the age of 30?

Respuesta :

Answer and explanation:

Probability= number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes

Probability of selecting an employee who is female= number of female employees/ total number of employees

Probability of selecting an employee who is female= 150/200

Probability of selecting an employee who is under 30= number of employees under 20/ total number of employees

Probability of selecting an employee who is under 30 = 40/200

Probability of randomly selecting an employee who is female and under the age of 30= Probability of selecting an employee who is female × Probability of selecting an employee who is under 30

Probability of randomly selecting an employee who is female and under the age of 30= 150/200×40/200=15/20×4/20=3/20= 0.15

Therefore there's a 15% chance of selecting an employee who is female and under the age of 30
