A person is selected at random from this group to act as a spokeperson. What is the probability that the spokesperson wil be either male or over 35 years?

Answer

N/a

Explanation

Total member `=5`
`implies` No. of ways of selecting one member `n(S)=5`
Male member `=3impliesn(M)=3`
Members over 35 years of age are `P(T)=2`
Now `n(MnnT)=1`
`:.P(MuuT)=P(M)+P(T)-P(MnnT)`
`=3/5+2/5-1/5=4/5`
Here probability that the selected person will be either male or over 35 years `=4/5`
