Step 1; Complete the table

1. The number of engineers that like science are 266

2. The engineer surveyed the most is Electrical Engineers

3. Pr(mechanical Engineer) is


\begin{gathered} \frac{total\text{ number of mechanical engin}er}{\text{total}} \\ \text{Total number pf mechanical engine}er\text{ =170} \\ \text{Total =516} \\ =(170)/(516) \\ =0.33 \end{gathered}

4. Pr(engineer who liked maths ) is


\frac{Total\text{ number of engin}er\text{ who liked maths }}{ground\text{ total}}=(254)/(516)=0.49

5. Pr( Engineer who like science or is a chemical engineer) is

Let Pr(engineer like science)=E and Pr(a chemical engineer)=S

The Pr( Engineer who like science or is a chemical engineer) is given as


\begin{gathered} Pr(E)+Pr(S)-Pr(\text{EnS)} \\ \text{where Pr(E)=}(262)/(516),\text{ Pr(S)=}(171)/(516),\text{ Pr(EnS)=}(91)/(516) \end{gathered}

Hence, we have


\begin{gathered} (262)/(516)+(171)/(516)-(91)/(516) \\ =(262+171-91)/(516)=(342)/(516)=0.66 \end{gathered}

6. Pr( Electrical or chemical) is


\begin{gathered} Pr(\text{Electrical) +Pr(chemical)} \\ Pr(\text{electrical)}=(175)/(516),\text{ Pr(chemical)}=(171)/(516) \\ \text{hence,} \\ (175)/(516)+(171)/(516)=(346)/(516)=0.67 \\ \end{gathered}

7. Pr(Mechanical engineer who liked science) is given as


\begin{gathered} Pr(M|S)=(Pr(MnS))/(Pr(S)) \\ Pr(MnS)=(81)/(516),\text{ Pr(S)=}(262)/(516) \\ Pr(M|S)=(81)/(516)*(516)/(262)=(81)/(262)=0.31 \end{gathered}

8. Pr(an engineer who liked maths and is an electrical engineer)


(85)/(175)=0.49
