Question 1044618: suppose 5 men out of 100 and 25 women out of 1000 are colourblind.A colourblind person is chosen at random.What is the probability of his being a men.. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5 men out of 100 is colorblind, or 50 out of 1000. 25 women out of 1000 is colorblind. This means that there is 1 colorblind woman for every 2 colorblind men. The ratio is 2:1, so that the probability of choosing a colorblind man from all colorblind persons is 2 out of 3. ☺☺☺☺
