A local company has two job openings available, and 170 people apply. Of the applicants, 52 are women.

If two persons are selected at random, what is the probability that exactly one is a woman?

The prob.of choosing a woman is 52/170. But, the other choice must be a man, which is 118/169.

The woman can be chosen in 2 ways, first or second.

2(\frac{52}{170})(\frac{118}{169})

the probablity will be.. (170c1*52c1)/222c2==0.36..
this is the answer

bareed, please clarify your answer.

I think bareed misread the question - he assumes there are 222 applicants, of which 52 are women
