The following five candidates have applied for a position in an organisation: Male 30 years, Male 32 years, Female 45 years, Female 20 years, and Male 40 years. What is the probability that the candidate selected for the position will be either female or over 35 years?

Solution

Female - A
above 35 years - B
n(A $$\cup $$ B ) = n(A)+n(B) - n (A $$ \cap $$ B) = 2 + 2 - 1 = 3
