The probability that both positions will be occupied by men is 0.20. option(A) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, Let us recall the following statements.

In a large firm, the pool of n a large firm, the pool of applicants for the positions of sales manager and sales associate consist of = 3 men and 3 women

M = 3, W = 3 , M = men, W = women
