7 people are selected randomly from a group of 25 women and 10 men to form a committee. Find the probability that the committee consists of 4 men and 3 women.
\[\frac{\dbinom{10}{4}\dbinom{25}{3}}{\dbinom{35}{7}}\]
thats right
of course this does not give you the answer, it just tell you what you need to compute, the number of ways to choose 4 men from 10 times the number of ways to choose 3 women out of 25 divided by the number of ways to choose 7 people from a set of 35
do you know how to find these numbers?
no. is this the conditional type of questions?
@satellite73 is it (9.10/6)(24.25/22) / (34.35/28)
\[\dbinom{10}{4}=\frac{10\times9\times 8\times 7}{4\times 3\times 2}\]
answer is 0.071
for the male it is 45?
45/35
easy with a calculator \[\dbinom{10}{4}=210\] \[\dbinom{25}{3}=2300\] \[\dbinom{35}{7}=6724520\]
yup
\[\frac{210\times 2300}{6724520}\]
