Question

At a business conference, there were 10 social workers, 16 doctors, 5 lawyers, and 2 journalists.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, If a person is picked at random from the entire group, it is unlikely to be a lawyer, and it is likely to be a doctor.Step-by-step explanation:

Number of social workers at a business conference = 10

Number of doctors in a business conference = 16

Number of lawyers in a business conference = 5

Number of journalists in a business conference = 2

Total number of people attending the business conference = 10 + 16 + 5 + 2

                                                                                                    = 33

$\text{Probability that the randomly selected person is a lawyer = } \frac{5}{33}=0.1515\\=15.15\%$

$\text{Probability that the randomly selected person is a doctor = } \frac{16}{33}=0.4848\\=48.48\%$

Therefore, If a person is picked at random from the entire group, it is unlikely to be a lawyer, and it is likely to be a doctor.

Answer 2

It will be a 5/33 or 15.2% of a chance for it to be a lawyer. And it will be a 16/33 or 48.5% chance of the person picked, will be a doctor.
