A tech startup has recently expanded its team to 32 employees, focusing on two main areas: artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity. Here's the team composition:
75% of the employees work in AI, while the remaining 25% work in cybersecurity. There is no overlap between these departments.
In the cybersecurity team, the ratio of employees with a master's degree to those without is 3:5.
In the AI team, the ratio of employees with a master's degree to those without is 5:3.
If the ratio of employees with a master's degree to those without is p to q, select for p the possible value of p, and select for q the possible value of q that would be jointly consistent with the given information. Make only two selections, one in each column.
AI employees: 32 * 0.75 = 24. Master: No Master = 5x: 3x
-> Total 8x = 24 -> x = 3
Master = 15, No Master = 9
Cybersecurity: 32-24 = 8. Master: No Master = 3x: 5x
-> total 8x - 8 -> x = 1
Master = 3, No Master = 5
Ratio of total Master : No Master across 2 departments = p : q = (15+3) : (9 + 5) = 18 : 14 =
9 : 7 Tick 9 and 7 for p and q
