6- Fairwell Electronics, all 150 employees were asked about their political affiliations. The
employees were grouped by type of work, as executive or production workers. The results
with row and column total are shown in Table. Suppose an employee is selected at
random from the 150 Fairwell employees. Let us use the following notation to represent
different events of choosing: E = executives, PW = Production worker, M =Movement for
Multiparty Democracy (MMD), U = United Party for National Development, (UPND), I =
Independent.

Employer Type MMD (M) UPND (U) Independent (I) Row Total
Executive (E) 10 35 10 55
Production Work (PW) 65 22 8 95
Column Total 75 57 18 150

a) Compute P (M and E)?

b) Compute P (M or E)?
