Chapter 9.7, Problem 35E

(a)

To determine

To find:The number of unemployed workers.

Answer to Problem 35E

The number of unemployed workers is $1.375\text{million}$.

Explanation of Solution

The number of unemployed workers in 16-19 age group is 10% that is,

  $\frac{10}{100}\left(13.75\right)=1.375\text{million}$

So, the number of unemployed workers is $1.375\text{million}$.

(b)

To determine

To find:The probability that unemployed workers are in 25-44 age group.

Answer to Problem 35E

The probability is $0.41$.

Explanation of Solution

The number of unemployed workers in 25-44 age group is 41% so, the probability is,

  $\frac{41}{100}=0.41$

So, the probability is $0.41$.

(c)

To determine

To find:The probability that unemployed workers are in 45-64 age group.

Answer to Problem 35E

The probability is $0.3$.

Explanation of Solution

The number of unemployed workers in 45-64 age group is 30% so, the probability is,

  $\frac{30}{100}=0.3$

So, the probability is $0.3$.

(d)

To determine

To find:The probability that unemployed workers are 45 or older.

Answer to Problem 35E

The probability is $0.33$.

Explanation of Solution

The number of unemployed workers is 45 or older is 33% so, the probability is,

  $\frac{33}{100}=0.33$

So, the probability is $0.33$.
