Question

According to a survey in one U.S. city, 53% of women between the ages and 25 of 35 are married, 45% are working full time, and 21% are married and working full time. If a woman between the ages of 25 and 35 is picked at random from the city, what is the probability that she is working full time or married but not both

Answer 1

Answer: 56%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

married women between 25 and 35 = 53%

working full time = 45%

married  and working full time = 21%

Solution:

= 53% - 21%

= 32%

= 45% - 21%

= 24%

probability that she is working full time or married but not both

= 32% + 24%

= 56%
