Question 1071982: a nursing class consists of 14 women and 16 men. Of these 12 of the men and half of the women study computer science. A person is chosen at random from the class. Find the probability that the person selected is:
a. a woman who is studying computer science
b. a woman or is taking computer science Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ======M====W==Total
CS+: 12====7===19
CS-: 4====7===11
Tot===16===14==30
probability woman studying CS is 7/30
woman or taking CS is 14+19- both or 7, and that is 26/30. Only a man not taking CS fails to meet these two criteria.
