You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are one of 15 people applying for 7 positions in your company. What is the approximate probability that you will get the job?
-----
Binomial Problem with p(get job) = 1/15 and n = 7
-----
P(get at least 1 of 7) = 1 - P(get none of 7) = 1 - (14/15)^7
= 1 - 0.6169 = 0.3830
