Answer: 675675; 2136420; 1068210

Explanation:

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

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

Answer: Shared debt liability

Explanation:

Shared debt liability in this context means that in the case of a default, the owners of the business are personally liable for the debts of the business and so creditors can come for their personal assets to get settlement for the debt.

Both Sole Proprietorships and Partnerships have a shared debt liability with their businesses because if the business defaults on debt and the assets of the business are not sufficient enough to cover the debt, the creditors can come after the personal assets of the sole proprietor or the Partners.
