Question

use the pie chart at the right, which shows the number of workers (in thousands) by industry for a certain country. find the probability that a worker chosen at random was not employed in the services industry.
the probability is
(round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of workers

Total workers \(=115.541 + 36.607+11.279+2.962=166.389\) (in thousands)

Step2: Calculate number of non - services workers

Non - services workers \(=166.389 - 115.541=50.848\) (in thousands)

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability \(P=\frac{50.848}{166.389}\approx0.306\)

Answer:

\(0.306\)
