Ajob applicant estimates that his chance of passing a qualifying examination is 2/3, and his chance of being appointed if he does pass is 1/4. what is the probability that he will receive the job?

Hence, the probability that he will receive job is:

                                   1/6

It is given that:

chance of passing a qualifying examination is 2/3=P

and chance of being appointed if he does pass is 1/4=P'

Now, we are asked to find the probability that he will receive the job.

We are asked to find the probability that he will receive the job.

The probability is calculated as:

Probability that he qualify exam×Probability that he is being appointed.

=P×P'

=(2/3)×(1/4)

=1/6

11 feet 6 inches and 8 feet 6 inches

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0
