Answer:

The Probability = 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question stated, the first step to take is to find probability that an employee selected at random will need either eyeglasses or major dental work

Solution

Given

Now,

The exams showed tha the number of employees needed eyeglasses = 8%

Employees that needed major dental work = 15%

Employees that needed  both eyeglasses and major dental work =3%

Thus,

The P(needed eyeglasses ) = 8% = 0.08

P(major dental work) = 15% = 0.15

P(eye glasses  and major dental work) = 3% = 0.03

The probability that an employee selected at random will need either eyeglasses or major dental work is  given as

= P(eye glasses ) + P(major dental work) - P(eyeglasses and major dental work)

= 0.08 + 0.15 - 0.03 = 0.20

Therefore the Probability = 0.20

6

(b) Only operate the cash register?

13

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we have the following information:

15 cooked​ food

12 washed​ dishes

21 operated the cash​ register

7 cooked food and washed​ dishes

6 cooked food and operated the cash​ register

6washed dishes and operated the cash​ register

4 did all three​ jobs

7 did none of these jobs

(a) Only cooked food?

This would be calculated as

Number of people that cooked food + Number of people that did all three jobs - Number of people that cooked food and washed​ dishes - Number of people that cooked food and operated the cash​

= 15 + 4 - 7 - 6

= 19 - 13

= 6

Therefore ,only 6 people cooked food

(b) Only operate the cash register?

This would be calculated as

Number of people that operated cash register + Number of people that did all three jobs - Number of people that cooked food and operated the cash​ register - Number of people that washed dishes and operated the cash​ register

= 21 + 4 - 6 - 6

= 25 - 12

= 13

Therefore, only 13 people operated cash register.
