Question

A company has an office in Austin, Texas, and an office in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company wants to know how employees get to work, so they take a survey of all the employees and summarize the results in a table. Answer the following question, round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer 1

The probability that a randomly selected employee lives in Austin and drives a car is 0.057

Here, we want to get the probability that a selected employee works in Austin and drives a car to work

Firstly, we need the number of employees that work in Austin and drive a car to work

Looking at the table, we have the number of employee that lives in Austin and drive a car to work as 63

To get the corresponding probability, we simply divide this number by the total number of employees which is 1,103

We have the probability as;

$\frac{63}{1,103}\text{ = 0.057}$
