I got it right on the Edmentum test.
The chances of finding either a work authored by a woman or a work written by a man in a book chosen at random are 25/33.
Probability is synonymous with possibility. It is concerned with the occurrence of a random event. Probability can only have a value between 0 and 1.
The probability that a book picked at random is either a work written by an author who writes only nonfiction or a work written by a man is found as;
[tex]\rm P = \frac{40 \ \% \ of \ 165 + 60 \% \ of \ 165 -40 }{165} \\\\\ P= \frac{25}{33}[/tex]
Hence the chances of finding either a work authored by a woman or a work written by a man in a book chosen at random are 25/33.
