<span>If there has to be 2 men and 2 women, we know that we must take a group of 2 men out of the group of 15 men and a group of 2 women out of the group of 20 women. Therefore, we have:

(15 choose 2) x (20 choose 2)


(15 choose 2) = 105

(20 choose 2) = 190

190*105 = 19950

Therefore, there are 19950 ways to have a group of 4 with 2 men and 2women.</span>

 

<span>If there has to be 1 man and 3 women, we know that we must take a group of 1 man out of the group of 15 men and a group of 3 women out of the group of 20 women. Therefore, we have:

(15 choose 1) x (20 choose 3)


(15 choose 1) = 15

(20 choose 3) = 1140

15*1140 = 17100

Therefore, there are 17100 ways to have a group of 4 with 3 women and 1 man.</span>

 

<span>We now find the total outcomes of having a group with 4 women.

We know this is the same as saying (20 choose 4) = 4845</span>

Therefore, there are 4845 ways to have a group of 4 with 4 women.

 

We now add the outcomes of 2 women, 3 women, and 4 women and get the total ways that a committee can have at least 2 women.

 

19950 + 17100 + 4845 = 41895 ways that there will be at least 2 women in the committee

Are 25 milligrams lighter or heavier than 25 centigrams
masya89 [10]

Answer:

<em>25 mg. is lighter than 25 cg.</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Well,</em>

<em />

<em>The prefix "milli" means thousandth and the prefix "centi" means hundredth.  So a milligram will be one-tenth of a centigram.</em>

<em />

<em>10 mg. = 1 cg.</em>

<em>25 mg. = 2.5 cg.</em>

<em />

<em>2.5 cg. < 25 cg.</em>

<em />

<em>25 mg. is lighter than 25 cg.</em>
