In the hiring problem, what is the probability that the n’th best candidate will be hired after being interviewed?
A standard deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards. Each card has a rank and a suit. There are 13
possible ranks (A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K), 4 possible suits (spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds),
and 13 cards in each suit (one of each rank).
A hand of 9 cards is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards (assume all outcomes are equally
likely).
For each of the following questions, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the
final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4, 2)/24) instead of 0.375.
Q3/ For a given exam, there is 40% of the students passed math test, and 30% passed
biology test, and 20% passed both math and biology tests. What is the probability
that a randomly selected student failed biology given that he passed math? (Use
Venn diagram)
