Question

A class consists of 99 women and 64 men. If a student is randomly selected, what is the probability that the student is a woman

Answer 1

`(99)/(163)`

Explanation:

probability (P) is calculated as

P = (outcome desired ) ÷ ( total number of outcomes

total outcomes = 99 + 64 = 163

desired outcome = 99

P( a woman ) =
`(99)/(163)`
