Answer:
D) 33/82
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The number of women in the class = 66
The number of men in the class = 98
Now we have to find the total number of students.
The total number of students in the class = 66 + 98 = 164
We know that, the probability of an event = The number of favorable outcomes / The total number of possible outcomes.
Here we are asked to find the probability that the student is a women.
The number of favorable outcomes = 66 and the total number of possible outcomes = 164.
So, the probability that the student is a woman = [tex]\frac{66}{164}[/tex]
We can simplify this fraction. Here GCF of 66 and 164 is 2. So we need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get
= [tex]\frac{33}{82}[/tex]
The answer is D) 33/82
