Answer -
From the question it is given that, there are four men andsix women on the city council.
Here total members in the council = 4 + 6 = 10,
Hence, the sample space has 10 points
∴ n (S) = 10
Number of women are 6 … [given]
Let us assume ‘A’ be the event of selecting a woman
Then n (A) = 6
P(Event) = Number of outcomes favourable to event/Totalnumber of possible outcomes
∴P(A) = n(A)/n(S)
= 6/10 … [divide both numerator and denominators by 2]
= 3/5
