Answer 1

This question is related to probability-

A. As per the given statistics the probability of accepting the job offer by 37 drivers out of 323 applicants is 0.114551084 (i.e. 37/323). So for 15 new drivers the required applicants would be 130.94 (i.e. 15/.114551084) or say 131 Applicants.

B. As per the given statistics the probability of hiring 37 drivers out of 52 face to face interview is 0.711538462 (i.e. 37/52). So for hiring 15 new drivers the required face to face interview would be 21.08 (15/.711538462) or say 21 face to face interviews.
