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

Answer:

$P(Woman) = \frac{23}{106}$

Step-by-step 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.

$P(Woman) = \frac{Women}{Women + Men}$

So, we have:

$P(Woman) = \frac{23}{23+83}$

$P(Woman) = \frac{23}{106}$
