Question # 4: A party host gives a door prize to one guest chosen at random. There are 48 men and 42 women at the party. What is the probability that the prize goes to a woman?

Answer 1

Answer:

total equal 90.probability means total subjects/possible subjects. So it is 42/90

Answer 2

Given - Number of men and women

Find - Probability of winning of women

Solution - The probability that the prize goes to a woman is 7/15.

Probability can be calculated by the formula = number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The number of favourable outcomes, in this case, is the number of women = 42

Total number of outcomes = 48 + 42

Total number of outcomes = 90

Keep the values in the formula to find the value of probability.

Probability = 42/90

Probability = 7/15

Thus, the probability that the prize goes to a woman is 7/15.
