question:

if there was 89 vacancies in a particular government agency while there were 1759 candidates. what was the probability that 1 candidate would secure the job?

answer:

you divide 89 by 1759. then you times 100. so the answer is 5.o6%.

so the probability of that 1 person getting that precious job vacancy is only 5.06%.

wait! that percentage is only valid if.. and only if the interviewer was totally by the book.

naaaah!!.. i don't think so.

so let see.. from that 89, half would probably had been 'reserved'. sedara, adik, kakak, abang, kawan bapak, cucu dato', cicit datin bla bla.. alah, you know what i mean.

so when you calculated the new figure, the new probability would be 2.53%..

2.53% out of 100%..

great.
