Employee Probabilities
1. **Problem Statement:**
We have a table showing the number of employees classified by age groups and departments. We need to calculate various probabilities based on this data.
2. **Data from the table:**
- Age <30: Production = 50, Sales = 2, Office = 50
- Age 30-45: Production = 70, Sales = 26, Office = 48
- Age >45: Production = 36, Sales = 4, Office = 14
3. **Total employees:**
$$\text{Total} = (50+2+50) + (70+26+48) + (36+4+14) = 102 + 144 + 54 = 300$$
4. **(a) Probability employee is under 30 years old:**
Number under 30 = $50 + 2 + 50 = 102$
$$P(\text{under 30}) = \frac{102}{300} = \frac{17}{50} = 0.34$$
5. **(b) Probability employee works in sales department:**
Number in sales = $2 + 26 + 4 = 32$
$$P(\text{sales}) = \frac{32}{300} = \frac{8}{75} \approx 0.1067$$
6. **(c) Probability employee is an office worker and above 45 years:**
Number office and >45 = 14
$$P(\text{office and >45}) = \frac{14}{300} = \frac{7}{150} \approx 0.0467$$
7. **(d) Probability employee is over 45 years given that he is an office worker:**
Total office workers = $50 + 48 + 14 = 112$
Number office and >45 = 14
Conditional probability:
$$P(>45 | \text{office}) = \frac{14}{112} = \frac{1}{8} = 0.125$$
8. **(e) Probability employee is a production officer given that he is between 30 and 45 years:**
Total employees aged 30-45 = $70 + 26 + 48 = 144$
Number production and 30-45 = 70
Conditional probability:
$$P(\text{production} | 30 \leq \text{age} \leq 45) = \frac{70}{144} = \frac{35}{72} \approx 0.4861$$
