    7. An industrial plant is conducting a study to determine how


    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
