Answer:

 0.0714

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the first is "working in nature" is 3/8.

The probability that the 2nd is "working in nature" is 2/7.

The probability that the 3rd is "not working in nature" is 5/6.

The probability that the 4th is "not working in nature" is 4/5.

Thus the probability that the first two of 4 opportunities are "working in nature" is ...

  (3·2·5·4)/(8·7·6·5) = 1/14 ≈ 0.0714
