If two applicants are selected at random, what is the probability that both are women?

Question

A local company has two job openings available, and 170 people apply. Of the applicants, 66 are women.

Answer 1

P(woman) = 66/170

 

We select two women

 

P(Both are women) = (66/170)(65/169) = 4290/28730 = 0.149 o4 14.9%
