Answer:
No it cannot be concluded.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of getting the disease in the first attempt is 50%
The probability of getting the disease in the second attempt is 50%
Thus the probability of getting the disease in either of the turns is 50%+50%=100% (which may seem to be true)
BUT
The probability of not getting the disease in the first attempt is 50%
The probability of not getting the disease in the second attempt is 50%
Thus the probability of not getting the disease in either of the turns is 50%+50%=100% (which is also true for this case)
Thus the probability of getting the disease in either of the 2 contacts is still 50%
Answer:
The probability that an applicant does not get a job if he or she has an interview is 20%.
Step-by-step explanation:
- If the applicant has been interviewed, then she/he belongs to the group of 20 people that had an interview.
- 16 of the 20 people who were interviewed were offered a job, which means that 4 of the 20 people interviewed were not offered a job.
- Then, 4/20= 20% of the people who were intervied did not get a job, which means that the <u>probability that an applicant does not get a job if he/she were interviewed is 20%</u>.
- Pat attention: this probability results from analysing the probability of getting a job once you have had an interview (this condition restricts our attention to the group of 20 people who had an interview, and not to the hole group of 500 people who did apply for the job).

12 and 13 are consecutive numbers
12+13=25
hence, 12 and 13 are your answers
