Would you mind giving some insight on this probability problem? I've been stuck for hours...?
It states:
30% of current engineers (that have no management positions) in a company are Electrical Engineers (EE)
42% of current engineers (that have no management positions) in a company are Mechanical Engineers (ME)
21% of current engineers (that have no management positions) in a company are Software Engineers (SE)
27% of all these engineers have some management training, and of these 27%....
...11% are Electrical engineers
...9% are Mechanical Engineers
...2% are Software Engineers
a) What is the probability that an engineer (any engineer) will not have had any management training?
b) What is the probability that an engineer with a Mechanical Engineering degree has management training?
c) what is the probability that an engineer will have some other degree or management training but not both?

But 11 + 9 + 2 ≠ 27
The question is already wrong
Added: I found you asked this before and I think the wording makes slightly more sense there, so Ill answer it there.
