Let us consider an organization of *x* people, the size of which grows by *y* people per year. Further consider a position *b* within the organization: of the *x* people in this organization, *z* of them are qualified to hold position *b*, but organizational constraints dictate that only *a* of them hold said position at a given time. As the organization grows, the number of people in the organization (*x*), number of qualified people in the organization (*z*), and number of people holding the aforementioned position (*a*) all grow at the same rate. Thus, while *x* increases by a constant number *y* (as opposed to a constant percentage *p*), both *z* and *a* increase by the predictable percentage *páµ¢*, where *páµ¢* is the percent annual growth of the organization (e.g. *y* / *xáµ¢*, where *xáµ¢* is the number of people in the organization during a given year). To further complicate matters, the position *b* rotates among the *z* qualified members of the organization such that a new individual holds this position at a statistically predictable rate of every *c* years. Furthermore, in any given year, an additional (*aáµ¢* × *páµ¢*) individuals will also fill position *b* due to organizational growth. If the average qualified individual remains with the organization for *d* years (where *d*>>*b*), what is the probability that an individual within group *z* will hold position *b* within his or her lifetime?

Is someone doing finals?

wow. I'll get a piece of paper and see if i can answer that for you.

uuhhhh ... 7? ... b? Sorry , It is the end of the day for me and I cant even read your question. WoW your brain sure was tumbling around today!Good luck with that!

So you realize you didn't ask a question right?

There are *f* probabilities of an individual within group *z* will hold position *b* within his or her lifetime.
