Answer:
There is a 0.57% probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this problem, we have that:
Desired outcomes:
The number of male nannies selected. 24 of the nannies placed were men. So the number of desired outcomes is 24.
Total outcomes:
The number of nannies selected. 4,176 nannies were placed in a job in a given year. So the number of total outcomes 4176.
Find the probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").
There is a 0.57% probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").
