If possible i would like some help with this question:
A Scientist trapped 100 European wasps in a jar. She informed a student that if she were to remove one of the wasps at random, the probability of it being a female is one. What is the conclusion that can be drawn from this statement?
Thankyou

The only way that the probability of one wasp is a female is one is if all the wasps are female. Even if only one wasp was male, the probability of one wasp withdrawn being female is 99/100.

all the wasps in the jar are female cos if suppose there were even one male, then the chance that u grab one which is female becomes lower as u could have grabbed a male as well..

Since the probabilty is one, or 100%, we can conclude that all the wasps are female.
