    P (WD) = 0.14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solution:-

    - In the given group we have total, T = 50 people

    - Number of women, W = 38

    - Number of men, M = T - W = 50 - 38 = 12

    - People with dark hair, D = 23

    - Women with dark hair, WD = 16

    - Men with dark-hair, MD = D - WD = 23 - 16 = 7

    - The probability of selecting a person who is a man with dark hair is:

    P (WD) = Possible men with dark hair / Total people in group

    P (WD) = WD / T

    P (WD) = 7 / 50

    P (WD) = 0.14

    Probabilty that the person is a man with dark hair = 0.14.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    38 are women (given)

    So, 50 - 38 = 12 are men.

    23 have dark hair and 16 are women with dark hair (given)

    So, 23 - 16 = 7 men with dark hair.

    Thus, probability = number of men with dark hair / number of people

    Probability = 7 / 50 = 0.14
