Answer:

Therefore the only statement that is not true is b.)

Step-by-step explanation:

There employees are 6 secretaries, 5 consultants and 4 partners in the firm.

a.) The probability that a secretary wins in the first draw

= $\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} secreataries}{total \hspace{0.1cm} number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees} = \frac{6}{15}$

b.) The probability that a secretary wins a ticket on second draw. It has been given that a ticket was won on the first draw by a consultant.

p(secretary wins on second draw | consultant wins on first draw)

= $\frac{p((consultant \hspace{0.1cm} wins \hspace{0.1cm} on \hspace{0.1cm} first \hspace{0.1cm}draw)\cap( secretary\hspace{0.1cm} wins\hspace{0.1cm} on second \hspace{0.1cm}draw))}{p(consultant \hspace{0.1cm} wins \hspace{0.1cm} on \hspace{0.1cm} first \hspace{0.1cm}draw)}$

= $\frac{\frac{5}{15} \times \frac{6}{14}}{\frac{5}{15} } = \frac{6}{14}$ .

The probability that a ticket was won on the first draw by a consultant a secretary wins a ticket on second draw = $\frac{6}{15}$ is not true.

The probability that a secretary wins on the second draw = $\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} secretaries \hspace{0.1cm} remaining } { number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees \hspace{0.1cm} remaining} = \frac{6 - 1}{15 - 1} = \frac{5}{14}$

c.) The probability that a consultant wins on the first draw =

$\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} consultants \hspace{0.1cm} } { number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees \hspace{0.1cm} } = \frac{5 }{15} = \frac{1}{3}$
