Respuesta :

If the Worker is retrenched, the probability that he is a plumber or a plasterer will be  0.0152.

What is probability?

The chances of an event occurring are defined by probability. Probability has several uses in games, in business to create probability-based forecasts,

The probability that the employee is a plumber;

[tex]\rm P(plumber)= \frac{No \ of \ plumber}{Total \ number \ of \ employ} \\\\ P(plumber)=\frac{12}{108} \\\\\ P(plumber)= 0.11[/tex]

The probability that the employee is a plasterer;

[tex]\rm P(plasterers )= \frac{No \ of \ plasterers }{Total \ number \ of \ employ} \\\\ P(plasterers )=\frac{15}{108} \\\\\ P(plasterers )= 0.13[/tex]

The probability that he is a plumber or a plasterer:

P = 0.13 × 0.11

P= 0.0152

Hence, if the worker is retrenched, the probability that he is a plumber or a plasterer will be  0.0152.
