Explanation / Answer

a) the probability a salesperson selected at random will have an above average sales ability and exelent potential for advancement

= 135/Total

=135/500

= 0.27

--------------------------

B) Prob for fair = 154/500

Prob for fair/ below average = 16/50

Prob for below average /fair = 16/154

Prob for fair /average = 45/150

Prob for averge/fair = 45/154

Prob for fair/above avg = 93/200

Prob for above avg / fair = 93/154

and so on.

Sales Ability fair good exelent bellow averge 16 12 22 50 average 45 60 45 150 above average 93 72 135 300 154 144 202 500
