Given:

Find-: Probability that a randomly selected person was either female or was wearing brown shoes.

Sol:

The probability that the randomly selected person was female.

Total female :


\begin{gathered} =4+11+16+2 \\ =33 \end{gathered}

Total = male +female


\begin{gathered} =31+33 \\ =64 \end{gathered}

Probability:


\begin{gathered} P(A)=\frac{\text{Favorable conditions}}{\text{ total conditions}} \\ P(A)=(33)/(64) \end{gathered}

The probability that a randomly selected person was wearing brown shoes.

Total brown shoes:


\begin{gathered} =7+11 \\ =18 \end{gathered}

Total shoes:


=64

Probability :


P(B)=(18)/(64)

The probability that a randomly selected person was either female or was wearing brown shoes.


\begin{gathered} P=P(A)+P(B) \\ =(33)/(64)+(18)/(64) \\ =(51)/(64) \\ =0.797 \end{gathered}

So the probabili
