Josue Long · Answer 1

65% = 0.65. The probability that all 11 selected graduates found a job in their chosen career would be (0.65) ^11, because the probabilities are independent (one person getting a job in their field does not influence another person getting a job in their field). This comes out to 0.009 to the nearest thousandth.
