b. If an employee is taken at random, what is the probability that the employee earns more than 30,000 a year?
c. If an employee is taken at random, what is the probability that the employee is male and earns more than 30,000 a year?
d. If an employee is taken at random, what is the probability that the employee is male or earns more than 30,000 a year or both?
e. The employee taken at random turns out to be male. Compute the probability that he earns more than 30,000 a year.

Question 2
A random sample of 16 students selected from the student body of a large university had an average age of 25 years and a standard deviation of 2 years. We want to determine if the average age of all the students at the university is significantly more than 24 . Assume the distribution of the population of ages is normal. Using = .05, it can be concluded that the population mean age is
a. not significantly different from 24.
b. significantly different from 24.
c. significantly less than 24.
d. significantly more than 24.
