Question 1073211: A large company rates its employees every six months as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Employees who had
any kind of previous work experience are more likely to be rated as satisfactory than employees without previous
work experience. The percents of experienced and inexperienced workers and their breakdown into satisfactory
and unsatisfactory ratings are shown in the diagram below.
-Employees with work experience:85%
*90% satisfactory
*10% unsatisfactory
-Employees with no previous experience:15%
*70% satisfactory
*30% unsatisfactory
What is the probability that a randomly selected employee will be one who had previous work experience and is
rated unsatisfactory? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.

The randomly selected employee had previous work experience (85%), and is rated unsatisfactory (10%), so:
.85 x .1=.085, or 8.5% chance of being randomly selected. ☺☺☺☺
