Question

A study looked at employee behavior, namely absenteeism, promptness to work, and turnover. The study found that 50% of the employees had problems with absenteeism, also, 60% had problems with turnover. Suppose that 30% of the employees had problems with both absenteeism and turnover. Use this information to find the probability that an employee selected from the group surveyed had problems with either absenteeism or turnover. The probability that an employee selected from the group surveyed had problems with either absenteeism or turnover is (Do not round.)

Explanation / Answer

P(Absenteeism) = 0.50

P(Turnover) = 0.60

P(Absenteeism AND Turnover) = 0.30

P(Absenteeism OR Turnover) = ?

P(Absenteeism AND Turnover) = P(Absenteeism) + P(Turnover) - P(Absenteeism AND Turnover)

= 0.50 + 0.60 - 0.30

= 0.80

Probability that an employee selected from the group surveyed had problems with either absenteeism

or turnover is 0.80.
