2 * 1
- -
3 * 4
so 2 /12
1/6 when simplified

Answer:

Hence, the probability that he will receive job is:

                                   1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

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
