A committee consists of eight women and twelve men. Three committee members will be chosen as officers. What is the probability
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The probability that all the officers are women is \frac{56}{1140}

Explanation:

Given a committee consisting of 8 women and 12 men, from which 3 committee members are to be chosen as officers from a committee.  

The total number of committee members is 8 + 12 = 20 members

C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} which represents the number of combinations of taking r objects out of n.

The probability that all the officers are women = C(8,3) / C(20,3)

= \frac{8!}{3!(8-3)!} / \frac{20!}{3!(20-3)!}

=\frac{8!}{3!5!} /\frac{20!}{3!17!}

=\frac{56}{1140}

Therefore the probability that all the officers are women is \frac{56}{1140}
