From the group of 2 men and 3 women,two persons are selected.Describe the sample space of the experiment.
----
2 men:: P(2 men) = 1/5C2 = 1/10
2 women:: P(2 women) = 3C2/5C2 = 3/10
1 man and 1 woman:: P(1 m and 1 w) = 1 - (1/10+3/10) = 6/10 = 3/5
------------------------------------------------------------
'A' is the event in which one man and one woman are selected then which are the cases favourable to 'A'?
A1W1 ; A1W2; A1W3: A2W1: A2W2: A3w3
