To transfer into a particular technical department, a company requires an employee to pass a screening test. A maximum of 3 attempts are allowed at 6-month intervals between trials. From past records it is found that 40% pass on the first trial; of those that fail the first trial and take the test a second time, 60% pass; and of those that fail on the second trial and take the test a third time, 20% pass. For an employee wishing to transfer:
(A) What is the probability of passing the test on the first or second try?
(B) What is the probability of failing on the first 2 trials and passing on the third?
(C) What is the probability of failing on all 3 attempts?
