Companies use employee training for various reasons, including employee loyalty, certification, quality, and process improvement. In a national survey of companies, BI Learning Systems reported that 56% of the responding companies named employee retention as a top reason for training. Suppose 38% of the companies replied that they use training for process improvement and for employee retention. In addition, suppose that of the companies that use training for process improvement, 89% use training for employee retention. A company that uses training is randomly selected. a. What is the probability that the company uses training for employee retention and not for process improvement

0.3081 = 30.81% probability that the company uses training for employee retention and not for process improvement

Step-by-step explanation:

56% employee retention.

38% for process improvement. Of those, 89% for employee retention.

a. What is the probability that the company uses training for employee retention and not for process improvement

The 56% is composed by:

x of 100 - 38 = 72%(not for process improvement)

89% of 38%(for process improvement).

We want to find x. So

0.3081 = 30.81% probability that the company uses training for employee retention and not for process improvement

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
