Question

Suppose thirteen people qualify for a college cheerleading squad, eight are men and 5 are women. If a 6 member squad is selected, what is the probability that the squad will have exactly two male members.

Answer 1

The probability that the squad will have exactly two male members is; 0.0816

How to solve probability combinations?

We are given;

Total number of people in cheerleading squad = 13

Number of Men = 8

Number of Women = 5

We are told that a 6 member squad is selected and now we want to find the probability that the squad will have exactly two male members.

Thus;

P(exactly 2 male members) = (8C2 * 5C4)/(13C6)

P(exactly 2 male members) = 140/1716

P(exactly 2 male members) = 0.0816
