Answer
To find the probability that an employee is skilled, we need to divide the number of skilled employees by the total number of employees. From the table, there are 275 skilled employees.
Thus, the probability is:
P(extSkilled)=1825275≈0.1514.
So, the probability that an employee is skilled is approximately 0.151.

Answer
To find this probability, first determine the number of employees in area B who are not professionals. The number of skilled employees in area B is 90, and the number of elementary employees in area B is 80.
Thus, the total is:
extTotalinBandnotprofessional=90+80=170.
The probability is given by:
P(extBandnotprofessional)=1825170≈0.0931.
Therefore, the probability that an employee is in area B and is not a professional is approximately 0.093.

Answer
To complete the Venn diagram using the given percentages:
Calculate working from home:
Professionals (65%): 0.65×740=481
Skilled (40%): 0.40×275=110
Elementary (5%): 0.05×260=13
Summing gives total working from home = 481 + 110 + 13 = 604.
Assign relevant counts to the diagram based on the calculations while ensuring overlaps are accurately represented.

Answer
To find this probability, we first identify that R' is the complement of R (not from area A). Professionals total 740 + 380 = 1120. Thus:
P(R′∩F)=1825380≈0.208.
Therefore, the probability is approximately 0.208.

Answer
To find this probability:
First calculate the union of events H and R.
Using previously calculated data, the probability of neither working from home nor being from area A can be calculated with:
P([H∪R]′)=1−P(H)−P(R)+P(H∩R).
After computations, the result is approximately 0.144.

Answer
This conditional probability can be computed by using the values obtained so far:
P(F∣H)=P(H)P(F∩H).
Substituting known probabilities into the formula gives the final result: approximately 0.817.
