Assume that the playbook contains 9 pasing plays and 11 running plays. The coach randomly selects 8 plays from the playbook. What is the probability that the coach selects at least 2 passing plays and at least 3 running plays?

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

total no .of plays=20

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

yes

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

now atleast 2 means 2 or more than 2

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

now out of 20 he selects 8

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

so now we can have the combinations

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

2 passing,6 running 3 passing,5 running 4 passing,4 running 5 passing,3 running

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

so 9c2*11c6+9c3*11c5+9c4*11c4+9c5*11c3

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

now calculate and get the answer

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

@ pulsified did you understand?

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

@Pulsified333
