Question

A hockey coach was taking her team out to a picnic lunch to celebrate their first win. She made 15 sandwiches, 6 of which were turkey.
If ants randomly chose to nibble on 6 of the sandwiches, what is the probability that exactly 3 of the chosen sandwiches are turkey?

Answer 1

The probability that exactly 3 of the chosen sandwiches are turkey is; 0.004

How to find the probability combination?

We are given;

Total number of sandwiches = 15

Number of sandwiches that were turkey = 6

Now, she selects 6 of the sandwiches and we want to find the probability that exactly 3 are turkey.

Now, number of ways of selecting 6 sandwiches is; 15C6

Number of ways of selecting 3 turkey's out of the 6 chosen is; 6C3

Thus, the probability that exactly 3 of the chosen sandwiches are turkey is; 6C3/15C6 = 20/5005 = 0.004
