Answer 2

Answer: The chances that it will be a part time employees is $\dfac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of employees = 56

Number of part time employees = 21

So, Probability that it will be a part time employee is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Number of part time employees}}{\text{Total number of employees}}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{56}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{8}$

Hence, The chances that it will be a part time employees is $\dfac{3}{8}$
