Answer 1

The probability that a randomly selected person is employed full time, given that he or she is between 18 and 49 years of age is given by

`P(\text{Employed full time \mid 18 - 49 years})=\frac{\text{Employed full time at age 18 - 49}}{\text{Total \# of individual age 18 - 49}}`

Therefore, the probability is 1124/1867.
