Question
According to a survey, 54% of all workers read email while on the phone. Suppose 20% of those who read email while on the phone write 'to do" lists during meetings. A worker is randomly selected. What is the probability that
4) a worker reads email while talking on the phone and writes "to do" lists in meetings?
5) a worker does not write personal "to do" lists given that he reads email while talking on the phone?
6) a worker does not write "to do" lists and does read email while talking on the phone?
Explanation / Answer
4)
P(a worker reads email while talking on the phone and writes "to do" lists in meetings) =0.54*0.20=0.108
5)P(a worker does not write personal "to do" lists given that he reads email while talking on the phone)
=(1-0.20) =0.80
6)) P(a worker does not write "to do" lists and does read email while talking on the phone)=(1-0.20)*0.54=0.432
