(A) Total number of ways to select $2$ people from $13$ is given by $n(S) = {}_{13}C_2 = \frac{13 \times 12}{2 \times 1} = 78$. Let $A$ be the event that at least one woman is selected. The number of ways to select at least one woman is: $n(A) = ({}_5C_1 \times {}_8C_1) + ({}_5C_2 \times {}_8C_0) = (5 \times 8) + (10 \times 1) = 40 + 10 = 50$. Therefore,the probability $P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)} = \frac{50}{78} = \frac{25}{39}$.
