Question

If the probability that an individual with a Bachelor Degree in Underwater Basket-weaving will be hired in their first 6 months out of college is 59%, what is the probability that an individual with a Bachelor Degree in Underwater Basket-weaving will not get hired in the first 6 months out of college?

Answer 1

Answer: The required probability is 41%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that he will be hired in their first 6 month out of college = 59% = 0.59

So, we know that

total probability = 100% = 1

Probability that he will not get hired in the first 6 months out of college would be

`P(H')=1-P(H)=1-0.59=0.41=41\%`

Hence, the required probability is 41%.
