quickly injured workers are back on the job following injury.
Records show that 10% of all injured workers are admitted to the
hospital for treatment and 15% are back on the job the next day. In
addition, studies show that 2% are both admitted for hospital
treatment and back on the job the next day.
a. If a worker is injured, what is the probability that the worker will either be admitted to a
hospital or be back on the job the next day or both?

Answer:
P(A ∪ B ) = 0.23
Step-by-step explanation:
When 2 events are non mutually exclusive you have the following formula for one of them
or both :
P(A ∪ B ) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
for this problem using A for injured workers admitted to the hospital and B for the injured
workers back on the next day. you have:
P(A) = 0.1
P(B) = 0.15
P(A ∩ B) = 0.02
The probability that a injured worker is admitted to the hospital and is back the next day
represents the intersection of both events
Ask your question
P(A ∪ B ) = 0.1 + 0.15 - 0.02 = 0.23
