Answer:

5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of women = 5

Number of men = 5

2 people is to be chosen to form a committee.

Let as assume

A : At least one man was chosen

B : At least one woman was chosen

A ∩ B : Exactly one man and one woman was chosen

P(B) = Exactly one woman was chosen + Two women was chosen

P(B)=\dfrac{^5C_1\times ^5C_1+^5C_0\times ^5C_2}{^{10}C_2}\Rightarrow \frac{5\times 5+1\times 10}{45}=\frac{35}{45}=\frac{7}{9}

P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{^5C_1\times ^5C_1}{^{10}C_2}\Rightarrow \frac{5\times 5}{45}=\frac{25}{45}=\frac{5}{9}

We need to find the probability at least one man was chosen given at least one woman was chosen.

P(\frac{A}{B})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P(\frac{A}{B})=\dfrac{\frac{5}{9}}{\frac{7}{9}}

P(\frac{A}{B})=\frac{5}{7}

Therefore, the required probability is 5/7.

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning, there are 5 + 5 = 10 people to choose from. After one woman is chosen, that number goes down to 10 - 1  = 9 people. 5 men are still left to choose from, so there is a 5/9 chance at least one man will be selected as the other committee member.

Hi! how do i find surface area of a cylinder? for some reason i can’t get the right answer
asambeis [7]
SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh

Use the formula above to find the surface area of a cylinder.

For the given cylinder the given data is the height (6mi) and diameter (16mi), use the diameter to find the radius:

\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2} \\  \\ r=\frac{16mi}{2}=8mi \end{gathered}

Surface area:

\begin{gathered} SA=2\pi(8mi)\placeholder{⬚}^2+2\pi(8mi)(6mi) \\ SA=128\pi mi^2+96\pi mi^2 \\ SA=224\pi mi^2 \end{gathered}Then, the surface area of the given cylinder is: 224π square miles
