Ronald lee has been told by a company that the he will be offered a job in the quality control department is 0.6 and the probability he will be asked to be foreman, if he is offered the job, is 0.1.What is the probability that he will be offered the job and asked to be foreman?
If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.
To find the probability that Ronald Lee will be offered the job and asked to be the foreman, you can multiply the two probabilities together.
The probability of being offered the job is 0.6.
The probability of being asked to be the foreman, given that he is offered the job, is 0.1.
So, the probability that both events happen is 0.6 * 0.1 = 0.06.
Therefore, there's a 0.06 (or 6%) chance that Ronald Lee will be offered the job and asked to be the foreman.
