Given: There are four men and six women on the city councils. By using the formula, P (E) = favourable outcomes / total possible outcomes From the city council one person is selected as a council member so, we have to find the probability that it is a *****. Total possible outcomes of selecting a person is 10C1 n (S)= 10C1 = 10 Let E be the event that it is a ***** n (E) = 6C1 = 6 P (E) = n (E) / n (S) = 6 / 10 = 3/5
