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

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability that only one candidate is hired is 0.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

[tex]P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}[/tex]

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

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

[tex]P(\text{Only 1 Hire})=\frac{1}{10}=0.10[/tex]

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