Question

A class consists of 23 women and 83 mean. If a student is random selected, what is the probability that the student is a woman?

Answer 1

`P(Woman) = (23)/(106)`

Explanation:

Given

`Women = 23`

`Men = 83`

Required

`P(Woman)`

This is calculated as the number of women divided by the population of the class

i.e.

`P(Woman) = (Women)/(Women + Men)`

So, we have:

`P(Woman) = (23)/(23+83)`

`P(Woman) = (23)/(106)`
