Question

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?

Answer 1

42%

Explanation:

We will use the conditional probability in this case

We use conditional probability when two cases occur are dependent.

So by using:

`(P(A\capB))/(P(B))`

Here, A is the event of experience needed.

And B is the event of part-time

Substituting the values in the formula we get:

`(6)/(14)=.42`

Intersection of experience needed and part-time is 6

And part-time total is 6+8=14

To get in percent we will multiply it by 100

42% is the required probability.
