Answer
To find the probability of selecting a skilled employee, we use the formula:
P(Skilled)=TotalEmployeesNumberofSkilledEmployees
Substituting the values:
P(Skilled)=1825275≈0.1514 or 15.14%
Step 2
(b) lives in area B and is not a professional

Answer
To find the probability that an employee lives in area B and is not a professional, we first find the number of employees in area B that are not professionals:
Skilled in B: 90
Elementary in B: 80
Thus, the total is:
90+80=170
Now, we use the total number of employees:
P(B∩NotProfessional)=1825170≈0.093 or 9.3%

Answer
Using the provided probabilities for working from home:
Professional working from home = 65% of 1120 = 481
Skilled working from home = 40% of 365 = 146
Elementary working from home = 5% of 340 = 17
The completed sections of the Venn diagram are:
Section F: 481
Section H: 146
Section R: 130
Intersection areas shaded accordingly.

Answer
To find this probability, we note that R' is the complement of area A, which includes:
Professional in area B = 380
Thus:
P(R′∩F)=1825380≈0.208 or 20.8%

Answer
To find this probability, we note the total must exclude those in areas H and R. Given the data:
Total without H or R = Employees not working from home and not in area A
Using the values:
P([H∪R]′)=1825133+130≈0.144 or 14.4%
Step 6
(f) Find P(F | H)

Answer
To find the probability of being a professional given that the employee works from home:
P(F∣H)=P(H)P(F∩H)
Using the appropriate values from above, we would compute this accordingly and find:
Total professionals working from home = 481,
Total working from home = 481 + 146 + 17 = 644
Thus:
P(F∣H)=644481≈0.747 or 74.7%
