The probability she failed the interview is: 1 - probability she passed the interview. P (failed 1st interview) = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 P (failed 2nd interview) = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2. P (failed 3rd interview) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3 So we have that if she didn't get the job, the probability that she failed the second interview is 0.2
