Question -
Answer -
Given: There are fourmen and six women on the city councils.
By using the formula,
P (E) = favourableoutcomes / total possible outcomes
From the city councilone person is selected as a council member so, we have to find the probabilitythat it is a woman.
Total possibleoutcomes of selecting a person is 10C1
n (S)= 10C1 =10
Let E be the eventthat it is a woman
n (E) = 6C1 =6
P (E) = n (E) / n (S)
= 6 / 10
= 3/5
