Worked Solution & Example Answer:A company has 1825 employees - Edexcel - A-Level Maths Statistics - Question 5 - 2022 - Paper 1

Step 1

(a) is skilled

96%

114 rated

Answer

To find the probability of selecting a skilled employee, we use the formula: P(Skilled)=Number of Skilled EmployeesTotal EmployeesP(Skilled) = \frac{Number\ of\ Skilled\ Employees}{Total\ Employees} Substituting the values: P(Skilled)=27518250.1514 or 15.14%P(Skilled) = \frac{275}{1825} \approx 0.1514 \text{ or } 15.14\%

Step 2

(b) lives in area B and is not a professional

Answer

To find the probability that an employee lives in area B and is not a professional, we first find the number of employees in area B that are not professionals:

  • Skilled in B: 90
  • Elementary in B: 80

Thus, the total is: 90+80=17090 + 80 = 170

Now, we use the total number of employees: P(BNot Professional)=17018250.093 or 9.3%P(B \cap Not\ Professional) = \frac{170}{1825} \approx 0.093 \text{ or } 9.3\%

Step 3

(c) Using this information, complete the Venn diagram on the opposite page.

Answer

Using the provided probabilities for working from home:

  • Professional working from home = 65% of 1120 = 481
  • Skilled working from home = 40% of 365 = 146
  • Elementary working from home = 5% of 340 = 17

The completed sections of the Venn diagram are:

  • Section F: 481
  • Section H: 146
  • Section R: 130
  • Intersection areas shaded accordingly.

Step 4

(d) Find P(R' ∩ F)

Answer

To find this probability, we note that R' is the complement of area A, which includes:

  • Professional in area B = 380

Thus: P(RF)=38018250.208 or 20.8%P(R' ∩ F) = \frac{380}{1825} \approx 0.208 \text{ or } 20.8\%

Step 5

(e) Find P([H ∪ R]')

Answer

To find this probability, we note the total must exclude those in areas H and R. Given the data:

  • Total without H or R = Employees not working from home and not in area A

Using the values: P([HR])=133+13018250.144 or 14.4%P([H \cup R]') = \frac{133 + 130}{1825} \approx 0.144 \text{ or } 14.4\%

Step 6

(f) Find P(F | H)

Answer

To find the probability of being a professional given that the employee works from home: P(FH)=P(FH)P(H)P(F | H) = \frac{P(F \cap H)}{P(H)} Using the appropriate values from above, we would compute this accordingly and find:

  • Total professionals working from home = 481,
  • Total working from home = 481 + 146 + 17 = 644 Thus: P(FH)=4816440.747 or 74.7%P(F | H)= \frac{481}{644} \approx 0.747 \text{ or } 74.7\%
