a firm of chartered accountants has 2 vacancies for trainee students and is trying to recruit
CAF passed students. In past 40% of students who were offered the training contract have not reported
to join if 2 students are offered training contract what is the probability that atleast one will join?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The probability that no one of 2 students will join is

    Q = 0.4%5E2 = 0.16.


The probability that at least one student of the two will join is the complement

    P = 1 - Q = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84.    ANSWER
