Answer:

The probability of selecting a person which is self-employed but not married equals 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given survey says:

Total number of people surveyed = 248

Number of people married = 156

The number of people are self employed = 70

Now, 25% of people who are married are SELF EMPLOYED.

Now, calculating 25% of 156 , we get:

$\frac{25}{100} \times 156 = 39$

⇒ out of total 156 married people, 39 are self employed.

So, number of self employed people but not married

= Self employed people - Self employed people PLUS married

= 70 - 39 = 31.

So, the probability that the person selected will be self-employed but not married = $\frac{\textrm{The total number of people self-employed but not married}}{\textrm{Total Number of people}}$ = $\frac{31}{248} = \frac{1}{8}$

Hence The probability of selecting a person which is self-employed but not married equals 1/8.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

$\displaystyle3\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

$4\displaystyle\frac{11}{16} \div1\frac{1}{4}$

Change mixed numbers to improper fractions:

$= \displaystyle\frac{75}{16} \div\frac{5}{4}$

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

$= \displaystyle\frac{75}{16} *\frac{4}{5}$

Reduce:

$= \displaystyle\frac{75}{4} *\frac{1}{5}$

$= \displaystyle\frac{15}{4} *\frac{1}{1}$

$= \displaystyle\frac{15}{4}$

Change improper fraction into mixed number:

$= \displaystyle3\frac{3}{4}$

I hope this helps!
