Answer :

We know Probability P ( E ) =
Total number of desired events n ( E )Total number of  events n ( S )
There are 496 employees in a company
So,
Total number of events n ( S ) = 496

Let number of supervisor = n ( E ) = x , So

x496 = 316⇒x = 316 × 496⇒x =3× 31⇒x =93

So,

There are 93 supervisors at the company ( Ans )
