Answer:

A survey shows that the probability that an employee gets placed in a suitable job is 0.65.

So, the probability he is in the wrong job is 0.35.

The test has an accuracy rate of 70%.

So, the probability that the test is inaccurate is 0.3.

Thus, the probability that someone is in the right job and the test predicts it wrong is 0.65 x 0.3 = 0.195

The probability that someone is in the wrong job and the test is right is

0.35 x 0.7 = 0.245
