Question

they're 28 ppl in a meeting the probability that a person chosen at random is a man is 1/2 calculate the number by of women in the meeting

Answer 1

Total number of people are 28 and since the probability of chosen at random is 1/2

Probability = number of successful outcomes / total number of outcomes

Probability is 1/2 = men /28

Men = 28/2 = 14.

Since total number of men is 14 out of 28 then total number of women is 28-14 = 14.

There are 14 men and 14 women in the meeting .
