Please help with conditional probability problem?
Over 50% of all engineers end up in management. An engineering firm needs project managers that understand the technical aspects of the product. A large firm is looking toward future needs. A look at personnel records indicates 30% of their current engineers (who are not yet in management positions) have an electrical engineering degree, 42% have a mechanical engineering degree,and 21% have a software engineering degree. 27% of all the engineers have some management training. Specifically, 11% have an electrical engineering degree and management training, 9% have a mechanical engineering degree and management training, and 2% have a software engineering degree and management training.
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 had management training?
c)What is the probability an engineer will have some other degree or management training but not both

However, the ones with some degree beside management training (27%) do not add up when the engineering degrees are summed (11% + 9% + 2% = 22%). What about the other 5%?
