The complete question is given below:-

A job 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?

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

It is given that:

The 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 The probability that he qualify the exam×Probability that he is being appointed.

=P×P'

=(2/3)×(1/4)

=1/6

Therefore the probability that he will receive the job will be 1 / 6
