HEEEEELPPPPP PLEASEEEEEE The table describes the types of job openings available in a company.

What is the probability that experience is needed for a randomly selected job opening, given that it is for part-time work?



Write the probability as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth if needed.

For all positions: 24% for part time that needs experience

8% full time needs experience

32% part time need experience

36% full time no experience needed

kinda need a little bit more details for statistics.

Answer: 42.9%

Explanation:

From the given table , the number of part-time jobs =6+8 = 14

Total jobs = 6+8+9+2=25

Let A be the event of selecting a part time job , then


P(A)=(14)/(25)

Let B be the event of selecting a job where experience is needed.

The number of part time job openings where experience is needed =
A\cap B=6

Then,
P(A\cap B)=(6)/(25)

Now, the probability that experience is needed for a randomly selected job opening, given that it is for part-time work is given by :-


P(B|A)=(P(A\cap B))/(P(A))\\\\=((6)/(25))/((14)/(25))\\\\\\=(6)/(14)=0.428571428571

In percent,
P(B|A)=0.428571428571*100=42.8571428571\%\approx42.9\%
