Question 62779: A class consists of 39 women and 37 men. If a student is randomly selected, what is the probability that the student is a woman? Answer by uma(370) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Number of men = 37
Number of women = 39
Total strength of the class = 37 + 39
= 76
Probability of the chosen student being a woman = 39/76
