Please help me solve!

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

odds of first one selected being a woman = 6/13 that leaves 7 men and 5 women odds of getting another woman = 5/12 continue this another 3 times to get 5 women since these events are independent we get our answer by multiplication of the 5 fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is 6/13 times 5/12 times 4/11 times 3/10 times 2/9?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes
