Suppose that 10 golfers enter a tournament and that their respective skill levels are approximately the same. Six of the entrants are female and two of those are older than 40 years old. Three of the men are older than 40 years old. What is the probability that the winner will be a female who is older than 40 years old?

B.0.198

C.0.200

D.0.900

Solution

Note that there are two women older than 40 years old.

There are 10 golfers here.

Hence,

P(woman older than 40) = 2/10 = 0.200 [ANSWER, C]
