Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if you set up a table, you would get something like the following.
type A type B total
men 78 42 120
women 19 11 30
total 97 53 150
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.
the probability that, if you pick a CEO at random, you will get a woman with type B personality is therefore 11 / 150.
