Answer:

$(a)\dfrac{92}{117}$

$(b)\dfrac{8}{39}$

$(c)\dfrac{25}{117}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Men, n(M)=24

Number of Women, n(W)=3

Total Sample, n(S)=24+3=27

Since you cannot appoint the same person twice, the probabilities are <u>without replacement.</u>

(a)Probability that both appointees are men.

$P(MM)=\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{23}{26}=\dfrac{552}{702}\\=\dfrac{92}{117}$

(b)Probability that one man and one woman are appointed.

To find the probability that one man and one woman are appointed, this could happen in two ways.

A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.

P(One man and one woman are appointed) $=P(MW)+P(WM)$

$=(\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{3}{26})+(\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{24}{26})\\=\dfrac{72}{702}+\dfrac{72}{702}\\=\dfrac{144}{702}\\=\dfrac{8}{39}$

(c)Probability that at least one woman is appointed.

The probability that at least one woman is appointed can occur in three ways.

A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
Two women are appointed

P(at least one woman is appointed) $=P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)$

$P(WW)=\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{2}{26}=\dfrac{6}{702}$

In Part B, $P(MW)+P(WM)=\frac{8}{39}$

Therefore:

$P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)=\dfrac{8}{39}+\dfrac{6}{702}\\$P(at least one woman is appointed)=\dfrac{25}{117}$
