To determine if the probability of candidate B getting selected can be 0.7, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the probabilities Let: - \( P(A) \) = Probability that candidate A is selected = 0.5 - \( P(B) \) = Probability that candidate B is selected - \( P(A \cap B) \) = Probability that both candidates A and B are selected ...
