Question 103

A wildlife conservation park employs 200 staff members divided into three departments: Enclosures, Veterinary, and Education. Each staff member is on either a Full-time or Part-time contract.

The distribution of staff members is shown in the table below:

Contract TypeEnclosuresVeterinaryEducation
Full-time451520
Part-time552540
a.

A staff member is selected at random. Find the probability that: (i) the staff member is on a Full-time contract. (ii) the staff member works in the Enclosures department.

[2]
b.

Given that a randomly chosen staff member is on a Part-time contract, find the probability that this staff member does not work in the Veterinary department.

[2]
c.

The park director wants to select three different staff members at random to form a focus group. Calculate the probability that all three staff members chosen work in the Enclosures department.
