Of the 600 employees, 400 had college degrees, 100 were single, and 60 were single college graduates. The probability that an employee of the company is single or has a college degree is: Select one: A. 0.10 B. 0.667 C. 0.733 D. 0.25

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The probability that an employee of the company is single or has a college degree is 0.733

How to determine the probability

The given parameters are:

n = 600 --- the number of employees

College graduate  = 400

Single graduate = 100

Single and college graduate = 60

The number of people that are college graduate or single are:

n(Single or college graduate) = 400 + 100 - 60

Evaluate

n(Single or college graduate) = 440

The probability is then calculated as:

p = 440/600

Evaluate the quotient

p = 0.733

Hence, the probability that an employee of the company is single or has a college degree is 0.733
