Question

A group of 5 men and 5 women are applying for a job at a local company. Each of the 10 job candidates has the same chance of receiving a job offer. Using the diagram, what is the probability that the company will hire two women for two positions?

A:3/4
B:1/4
C:1
D:1/2

Answer 1

Answer: 1/4

Explanation: Because there is a 1/2 chance that a female will get the first job, and a half chance that a lady will get a second job. So (1/2)*(1/2)=(1/4)
