Answer:

[tex]P(Work | Senior) = 0.14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached table

Required

[tex]P(Work | Senior)[/tex]

This is calculated using:

[tex]P(Work | Senior) = \frac{P(Work \ n\ Senior)}{P(Senior)}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(Work | Senior) = \frac{n(Work \ n\ Senior)}{n(Senior)}[/tex]

From the table:

[tex]n(Work \ n\ Senior) = 5[/tex]

[tex]n(Senior) = 25 + 5+ 5 = 35[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(Work | Senior) = \frac{5}{35}[/tex]

[tex]P(Work | Senior) = 0.14[/tex]

Answer:

14%

Step-by-step explanation:

add 25+5+5 (because that is all the numbers in the 'Seniors' row) and then take the 5 that is in the 'Work' column and put that over 25. (5/25 fraction as a percent is 14).
