Final answer:

In Tatooine, the number of people employed is 7 million, and the number of unemployed is 250,000. The Unemployment Rate is calculated as 3.45%, based on the labor force which includes only those employed and those actively seeking employment, not counting those outside the labor force or in the military.

Step-by-step explanation:

The country of Tatooine has a total adult population of 10 million, with 7 million employed, 250,000 in the military, and 2.5 million not working for various reasons.

The number of people employed is given as 7 million.

To determine the number of people unemployed, we need to consider that those retired, institutionalized or choosing not to work are not part of the labor force. Therefore, the labor force consists of those employed and those actively seeking employment but not the retired, institutionalized, or voluntarily inactive.

Military personnel are also not counted in civilian employment figures but are considered separate.

So, we subtract the employed and military from the total adult population: 10 million - 7 million - 250,000 = 2.75 million.

However, since 2.5 million are not in the labor force, the unemployed equals 2.75 million - 2.5 million = 250,000.

The Unemployment Rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed by the labor force and then multiplying by 100: (250,000 / (7 million + 250,000)) * 100 = 3.45%.
