<h2>Answer:</h2>

Hence, the probability that he will receive job is:

1/6

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

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.

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

=P×P'

=(2/3)×(1/4)
