You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if you set up a table, you would get something like the following.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "                       type A         type B        total\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "         men             78             42            120\r\n" );
document.write( "         women           19             11             30\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "         total           97             53            150\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "
\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you look at this table, you will see that there are 11 women with type B personality out of a total of 150 CEO's.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the probability that, if you pick a CEO at random, you will get a woman with type B personality is therefore 11 / 150.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
