Answer:

10% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is:

\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100

Therefore, for this example:

\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100=\frac{135-150}{150} \times 100=-10\%

The negative value indicates that the change was a decrease. Therefore, there was a 10% decrease.

Out of 100 employees at a company, 92 employees either work part time or work 5 days each week. There are 14 employees who work
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

OpenStudy (judygreeneyes):

Hi - If you are working on this kind of problem, you probably know the formula for the probability of a union of two events. Let's call working part time Event A, and let's call working 5 days a week Event B. Let's look at the information we are given. We are told that 14 people work part time, so that is P(A) = 14/100 - 0.14 . We are told that 80 employees work 5 days a week, so P(B) = 80/100 = .80 . We are given the union (there are 92 employees who work either one or the other), which is the union, P(A U B) = 92/100 = .92 .. The question is asking for the probability of someone working both part time and fll time, which is the intersection of events A and B, or P(A and B). If you recall the formula for the probability of the union, it is

P(A U B) = P(A) +P(B) - P(A and B).

The problem has given us each of these pieces except the intersection, so we can solve for it,

If you plug in P(A U B) = 0.92 and P(A) = 0.14, and P(B) = 0.80, you can solve for P(A and B), which will give you the answer.

I hope this helps you.
