There are four men and six women on the city councils. If one council member is selected for a committee at random, how likely is that it is a women?

Explanation

here are four men and six women on the city council.

As one council member is to be selected for a committee at random, the sample space contains `n(S)=(4+6)=10` elements.

Let A be the event in which the selected council member is a woman

Accordingly `n(A)=6`

`∴P(A)=`(Number of out comes favourable to A)/(Total number of possible
outcomes)​​`=6/(10)`
