Complete the following problems from the textbook and submit them as a Word file. When appropriate, you may use either
Excel or Megastat to complete.
Ans: P(A) = successful if hired(0.60)
P(B) = successful at passing the test (0.85)
P (A/B) = p(A)*p(B/A) / [p(A)*p(P/B) + p(nA)*p(B/nA)] = 0.60*85/(0.60*85 + 0.40*0.90) = 0.586

Therefore, there is 94% probability that the applicant will succeed in a management position.
a) From the above answer, we can say that the “aptitude test for managers” is a valuable way to screen applicants for

Ans:
a) The probability that both Jane and John watch the show is:
P(Jane and John) = P(John | Jane) * P(Jane) = (0.7)...
