Question

A grocery store employs 15 cashiers, 25 stock clerks, and 10 delivery personnel. Among them, 10 cashiers, 10 stock clerks, and 5 delivery personnel are married. If an employee is selected at random, find the probability that the employee is not married.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of total employees is:

$T=15+25+10 =50\ Employees$

The number of married employees is:

$M=10+10+5 =25\ Employees$

The probability that a randomly selected employee is not married is given by:

$P=1-\frac{M}{T}\\P=1-\frac{25}{50}\\P=0.5\ or\ 50\%$

The probability is 0.5 or 50%.
