31. Your company uses a pre-employment test to screen applicants
for the job of a repairman and the test is passed by 60% of the
applicants. Among those who passed the test 80% completed
training successfully. In an experiment, a random sample of
applicants who did not pass the test was also employed. Training
was successfully completed by only 50% of this group. If no pre-
employment test was used, what percentage of applicants would
you expect to complete training successfully?
