Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)

From the given information, the men interviewed 24% had asked for a raise.

The probability of man asked for a raise is,

Pman asked for a raise=24100=0.24

Thus, the probability of man asked for a raise is 0.24.

(b)

The probability of man received raise, given he asked for one is,

Pman received raise,given he asked for one=65100=0.65

Thus, the probability of man received raise, given he asked for one is 0.65.
