What is probablitity?


Probability, can be define as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the n number of total events.

Here, p(a) = Overtime was paid for 26 weeks = 26/32= 0.81
       p(b) =  temporary help was hired for 15 weeks = 0.46
Required probability = P(a) + P(b) - 1
                                  =   0.81 + 0.46 -1
                                  =   0.28
