Q. This table gives information about a group of students.\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}\hline & Wear glasses & \begin{tabular}{l} Do not wear \\glasses\end{tabular} \\\hline Male & 6 & 11 \\\hline Female & 9 & 16 \\\hline\end{tabular}(a) A student is selected at random from the group.Find, as a fraction in its lowest terms, the probability that the student is(i) a male who wears glasses, I/(ii) a female who does not wear glasses. /1(b) Two students are selected at random from the group.Find the probability that(i) one is a male and one is a female,(ii) at least one is a male who wears glasses. =15
Total students: Total students = 6 (males with glasses) + 11 (males without glasses) + 9 (females with glasses) + 16 (females without glasses) = 42 students.
Probability of male with glasses: (i) Probability of selecting a male who wears glasses =Total number of studentsNumber of males with glasses=426.
Simplify probability fraction: Simplify 426 to its lowest terms = 71.
Probability of female without glasses: (ii) Probability of selecting a female who does not wear glasses =Total number of studentsNumber of females without glasses=4216.
Simplify probability fraction: Simplify 4216 to its lowest terms = 218.
Probability of selecting male and female: (b)(i) Probability of selecting one male and one female = (Total studentsNumber of males)×(Total students−1Number of females)+(Total studentsNumber of females)×(Total students−1Number of males).
