Answer:
[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Electrician = 6
Mechanic = 8
Required
Determine the probability of selecting an electrician
First, we need the total number of employees;
[tex]Total = n(Electrician) + n(Mechanic)[/tex]
[tex]Total = 6 + 8[/tex]
[tex]Total = 14[/tex]
Next, is to determine the required probability using the following formula;
[tex]Probability = \frac{n(Electrician)}{Total}[/tex]
[tex]Probability = \frac{6}{14}[/tex]
Divide numerator and denominator by 2
[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{7}[/tex]
Hence, the probability of selecting an electrician is 3/7
