Question

Assuming that ten (10) candidates are presented in a random order, what is the probability that hire exactly one candidate

Answer 1

The probability that only one candidate is hired is 0.10.

Explanation:

The probability of event E occurring is the ration of the favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

`P(E)=(n(E))/(N)`

It is provided that N = 10 candidates are presented in a random order.

Compute the probability that only one candidate is hired as follows:

`P(\text{Only 1 Hire})=(1)/(10)=0.10`

Thus, the probability that only one candidate is hired is 0.10.
