Question

The Bidwell Value Company requires all prospective employees to be interviewed by a three man personnel committee. Each member of the committee votes individually for or against a recommendation of employment. Upon examining the company’s records over the past year, the personnel director has noted the following probabilities for eight possible outcomes:

a. What is the probability member 1 and member 2 vote for employment?

b. What is the probability member 1 or member 2 vote for employment?

c. If member 1 votes for employment, what is the probability that member 2 will

also vote for it?

d. If a new employee is hired only if a majority of the committee members

vote for employment, what is the probability that a prospective employee is hired?

before the committee than one of the individuals? Why?
