Question

A company employs six women and eight men. The company randomly selects one employee to receive additional vacation time. Using the classical approach, what is the probability that the selected employee will be a woman

Answer 1

Answer: 6/14 or 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 14 employees hired so it would like like this: 1/14 if you were to chose one of all 6 women and 8 men hired.

There are 6 women that may be chosen out of all 14 employees of which 8 are men, now what this would look like is : 6?14 or simplified, (3/7).

This means there is a 6/14 chance of choosing a woman instead of a man in these 14 hired employees. just because the question asks, "what is the chance of a woman getting chosen", of the other 5 women and 8 men hired, so the answer is 6/14 or 3/7 to chosen as a women instead of men in all the 14 employees that may/might be chosen. hope this helps love yawl!!
