Answer: 675675; 2136420; 1068210

THE problem can be approached using the combination technique,which determines the number of possible arrangement in a collective without credence to the order of arrangement.

Number of women = 15

Nunber of men = 12

Total committee members = 8

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

QUESTION 1

Committee must contain 4men and 4women

12C4×15C4 = 12!÷(12-4)!4! × 15!÷(15-4)!4!

(12! ÷ 8!4!) × (15! ÷ 11!4!)

(11880 ÷ 24) × (32760 ÷ 24)

495 × 1365 = 675675ways

QUESTION 2

Possible combination ;

12C8×15C0 + 12C7×15C1 + 12C6×15C2 + 12C5×15C3 + 12C4×15C4 + 12C3×15C5 + 12C2×15C6 =2136420ways

QUESTION 3

If there must be more women than men

Possible combination;

12C1×15C7 + 12C2×15C6 + 12C3×15C5 = 1068210 ways

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The best answer seems to be letter B. An individual often perceives the same concept or idea differently from another.

Explanation:

According to the quote by Van Morrison, a famous person's perception of himself is different than other people's perception of him. That simply means that different people, different individuals, can perceive the same idea in a contrasting manner to others. It may very well be that Van Morrison himself didn't wake up thinking he was famous, but that other famous people do. It all depends on their perception. Another example still related to fame is the way some people perceive it as good while others as bad. Those who see fame as a bad thing treasure their privacy and personal life. They value solitude and quietness. Those who see it as good desire the paparazzi, the flashes, the questions, even the intrusions. From their perception, all of that means they are important, loved, admired.
