Answer:

0.245 ; 0.76 ; 0.669  

Step-by-step explanation:

  Occupations                 S&E      Non S &E       Total {Gender wise}

  Women                           76             424               500

 Men                                 169            331               500

Total {occupation wise}      245            755             1000 [Grand Total]

1) Probability (any person in S & E) = Total people in S & E / Total people = 245 / 1000 = 0.245

2) Prob (woman & works in S & E) , ie P (W ⋂ S) =  Total women in S & E / Total people  =  76 /  100 = 0.76

3) Prob (woman or works in S & E), ie P (W U S) = P( Women) + P (S & E) - Prob (Women & SE), ie P (W) + P (S &E) - P (W ⋂ S) = ( 500 + 245 - 76 ) / 1000 = 669 / 1000 = 0.669

The probability that a randomly selected person works in an S&E occupation is 0.245.

The probability that a randomly selected person is a woman and works in an S&E occupation is 0.12.

The probability that a randomly selected person is a woman or works in an S&E occupation is 0.745

What are the probabilities?

Probability determines the odds that an event would happen.

The probability that a randomly selected person works in an S&E occupation = total number of people that work in SE / total number of people= 245 / 1000 = 0.245.

The probability that a randomly selected person is a woman and works in an S&E occupation = (number of women / total number of people surveyed) x (number of people that work in SE / total number of people surveyed)

500 / 1000 x (245 / 1000) = 0.12

The probability that a randomly selected person is a woman or works in an S&E occupation = (number of women / total number of people surveyed) + (number of people that work in SE / total number of people surveyed)

= 500 / 1000 + (245 / 1000) = 0.745
