Candidates for a job are interviewed one by one until a qualified candidate is found. Twenty-eight percent of the candidates are qualified. The company has two positions open. They will interview candidates until two qualified candidates are found. Let Y be the number of candidates interviewed up to and including the second qualified candidate. Let X represent the number of applicants who are interviewed up to and including the first qualified candidate. Find P(Y = 4|X = 1). P(Y = 4|X = 1) =

Thirty percent of the candidates are qualified. a) What is the probability that the first candidate is qualified? b) What is the probability that the first candidate is unqualified and the second candidate is qualified? c) Let X represent the number of candidates interviewed up to and including the first qualified candidate. Find P(X = 4). d) Find the probability mass function of X.

Four equally qualified people apply for two identical positions in a company. One and only one applicant is a member of a minority group. The positions are filled by choosing two of the applicants at random. a. List the possible outcomes for this experiment. b. Assign reasonable probabilities to the sample points. c. Find the probability that the applicant from the minority group is selected for a position.
