Answer :

Correct answer is : 0.93

There are 5 men and 3 women. Company is hiring to fill four managerial vacancies.

Probability that at least one woman will be selected = 1 - Probability that no woman is selected

Probability that no woman is selected =  5 C 4 × 3 C 0 8 C 4 = 5 × 1 70 = 5 70

Probability that at least one woman will be selected = 1 - Probability that no woman is selected = 1 - (5/70) = 65/70 = 0.93
