The probability of selecting 2 men and a woman is  \frac{21}{44}

The sample space is made up of 7 men and 5 women. So we have a total of 12 people.

If 3 applicants are randomly selected without replacement, there will be three mutually exclusive possibilities;

MMW=\text{Event that a Man, then Man, then Woman is selected}\\MWM=\text{Event that a Man, then Woman, then Man is selected}\\WMM=\text{Event that a Woman, then Man, then Man is selected}\\

The final probability will have the form

P(\text{2 men and 1 woman})=P(MMW)+P(MWM)+P(WMM)

because the possibilities are mutually exclusive.

<h3>Computing the Probability of each possibility</h3>

Each mutually exclusive possibility is made up of dependent events. This is because when selection is done without replacement, it affects the size of the sample space.

  • The Probability of selecting a Man, then a Man, then a Woman is

        P(MMW)=\dfrac{7}{12}\times\dfrac{6}{11}\times\dfrac{5}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{44}

  • The Probability of selecting a Man, then a Woman, then a Man is

        P(MWM)=\dfrac{7}{12}\times\dfrac{5}{11}\times\dfrac{6}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{44}

  • The Probability of selecting a Woman, then a Man, then a Man is

        P(MWM)=\dfrac{5}{12}\times\dfrac{7}{11}\times\dfrac{6}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{44}

<h3>Calculate the Probability of getting two men and a woman</h3>

The final probability is

P(\text{2 men and 1 woman})=P(MMW)+P(MWM)+P(WMM)\\\\=\dfrac{7}{44}+\dfrac{7}{44}+\dfrac{7}{44}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{44}

For which of the following will an employment application most likely ask?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: A. Education history

Explanation: Parental employment history and loan history are not things they are not supposed to ask about and financial history is generally considered private. Education history makes the most sense because they would want to know if their applicants have the education needed for the job.

Hope this helps!  :)
