The total number of ways the study can be selected is: 637065
Given,
Total number of women in a group= 13
Total number of men in a group = 12
Number of women chosen = 8
Number of men chosen = 8
∴ the total number of ways the study group can be selected = 13C₈ and 12C₈.
This in the form of combination factor = nCr
∴ nCr = n!/(n₋r)! r!
13C₈ = 13!/(13 ₋ 8)! 8!
= 13!/5!.8!
= 1287
12C₈ = 12!/(12₋8)! 8!
= 12!/5! 8!
= 495
Now multiply both the combinations of men and women
= 1287 × 495
= 637065
Hence the total number of ways the study group is selected is 637065
