Answer: labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate is computed as

\text{labor force participation rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total employed persons}}{\text{Total population}}

i.e. \text{labor force participation rate}= \dfrac{72000}{120000}

= 0.6\ or\ 60 \%

The unemployment rate is computed as:

\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{\text{Number of personsdon't have jobs }}{\text{Total population}}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{8000}{120000}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=0.0667\ or\ 6.67\%

Hence, labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

A Game of Thrones fan predicts there is a 70% chance that her favorite character will survive the next season and a 75% chance t
zepelin [54]

Answer:

  • <em>The probability that the second favorite character will die given that the first favorite character dies is</em><u> 0.53</u>

  • <u>This kind of probability is called conditional probability</u>

Explanation:

Name the events and their probabiities:

  • Event  A: her favorite character will survive, so P (A) = 0.70

  • Event B: her her second favorite character will die, so P(B) = 0.75

  • Both characters will die ⇒ P (B and not A) = 0.16

You want to find P (B | not A).

That is the probability of the succes B (the second favorite character will die) given other event (not A or the first favorite character dies) is certain (it happens) and that is called conditional probability.

  • P (not A) is the complement probability of A, so P (not A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

So, you have P(B), P(not A) and want to find P (B | not A)

The definition of conditional probability is:

  • P (X | Y) = P (X and Y) / P (Y)

So, replacing with our terms, we get:

  • P ( B | not A) = P (B and not A) / P (not A) = 0.16 / 0.3 ≈ 0.53
