A very large organisation undertook a survey of their employees. They wanted to know what proportion of employees would use an office crèche if made available. 16% of employees were found to have children younger than school age and so could use a crèche. Of these employees, 45% then indicated they would use an office crèche if made available. What proportion of the organisation’s employees would use an office crèche (as a decimal to 3 decimal places)?
Question
A very large organisation undertook a survey of their employees. They wanted to know what proportion of employees would use an office crèche if made available. 16% of employees were found to have children younger than school age and so could use a crèche. Of these employees, 45% then indicated they would use an office crèche if made available. What proportion of the organisation’s employees would use an office crèche (as a decimal to 3 decimal places)?
Solution
The proportion of the organization's employees who would use an office crèche is the product of the proportion of employees who have children younger than school age and the proportion of these employees who would use the crèche.
So, the proportion of employees who would use the crèche is 0.16 (the proportion of employees with young children) * 0.45 (the proportion of these employees who would use the crèche) = 0.072.
So, 0.072 or 7.2% of the organization's employees would use an office crèche. As a decimal to three decimal places, this is 0.072.
