SOLUTION: The probability that a final year student will pass the certified public accountant (CPA) examination is 0.60. The probability that a final year student will pass the CPA examinat

We are given   P(pass CPA) = 0.6.


We are also given   P(pass CPA AND get a job offer) = 0.4.


They ask you about the conditional probability  P(get a job offer | pass CPA).


Use the general definition of the conditional probability

    P( A | B ) ] = P(A and B)/P(B).



In your case, the event A = "get a job offer",

              the event B = "pass GPA";

              the event (A and B) = (pass GPA AND get a job offer)



Therefore, the conditional probability  

       P(get a job offer | pass CPA) = P(A and B)/P(B) =  = .    ANSWER
