The probability that a trainee will remain with a company is 0.6.
\n" ); document.write( "P(R) = 0.6
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The probability that an employee earns more than Rs.10, 000 per year is 0.5
\n" ); document.write( "P(10K) = 0.5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The probability that an employee is a trainee who remained with the company or who earns more than Rs.10, 000 per year is 0.7
\n" ); document.write( "P(R or 10K) = 0.7
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "What is the probability that an employee earns more than Rs.10, 000 per year given that he is a trainee who stayed with the company.
\n" ); document.write( "P(10K | R) = P(10K and R)/P(R)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Note: P(10K and R) = P(R)+P(10K)-P(10K or R) = 0.6+0.5-0.7 = 0.4
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore P(10K |R) = 0.4/0.6 = 2/3
