September 9th, 2007 . by Vanaja
A group consists of 50 students. Out of these 20 are girls .There are 10 Australian students. Out of 50 students, 25 students like cricket.
What is the probability of selecting an Australian girl who likes cricket?
Hint:
Probability of selecting a girl= 20/50
Probability of selecting an Australian student = 10/50
Probability of a student like cricket=25/50
Therefore the the probability of selecting an Australian girl who likes cricket= (20/50 )(10/50)(25/50) = 1/25 =0.25
