Question

Suppose that a department contains 13 men and 18 women. How many ways are there to form a committee with 6 members if it must have strictly more women than men?

Answer 1

yo, minato, howzit dude?!

Answer 2

That's Hokage-Sama to you (jk xp)

Answer 3

committee must have more women than men
so x + y = 6
y > x
so y = 4, 5 or 6

Answer 6

committee must have more women than men
so x + y = 6
y > x
so y = 4, 5 or 6

im not great at combinatorix, but i'll give it a go:
so for the men: options are 2,1 and 0
binomial expansion of \[\frac nm = \frac {13}{2} ~and~ \frac {13}{1} and = 78 ~and~ 13 \]

Answer 7

for the women: options are 4,5 and 6
\[\frac nm = \frac {18}{4} ~and~ \frac {18}{5}~ and~\frac {18}{6} = 3060 ~and~ 8568 ~and~ 18564 \]

so 78*3060 + 13* 8568 + 18564 = final answer... i think... but i'm not certain whether that's too specific: ie cares if they're in a certain order?
