1. The problem gives the percentage distribution of employed people by occupation and asks for: a) The probability that an employed person works in the Sales/Service sector. b) The number of Professionals employed given the total employed population. 2. From the graph, the percentage for Sales/Service is 10.2%. To find the probability as a fraction between 0 and 1, convert the percentage: $$\text{Probability} = \frac{10.2}{100} = 0.102$$ 3. For the number of Professionals, the percentage is 7.0%. The total employed population is 9,583,762. Calculate the number of Professionals: $$\text{Number of Professionals} = 0.07 \times 9,583,762 = 670,863.34$$ 4. Since the number of people must be whole, round to the nearest whole number: $$670,863$$ 5. Final answers: a) Probability of Sales/Service sector employment = $0.102$ b) Number of Professionals employed = $670,863$
