Answer:   0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let F denotes the event that graduate senior will get offer from the first company and S denotes the event that graduate senior will get offer from the second company .

Then, we have : [tex]P(F)=0.6[/tex]       [tex]P(S)=0.5[/tex]

The probability that at least one will reject him ( neither first nor second ) = [tex]P(F'\cap S')=0.8[/tex]

Now, [tex]P(F\cup S)=1-P(F'\cap S')=1-0.8=0.2[/tex]

Hence, the probability that he gets at least one offer ( either first or second)= 0.2
