=========================================
Work Shown:
You will be using the nCr combination formula here. Refer to the attached image below (figures 1 through 5).
We have a pool of n = 6 freshmen and we're selecting r = 2 individuals from this pool, so there are nCr = 6C2 = 15 ways to pick the two freshmen (see figure 1).
There are 84 ways to pick the sophomores since 9 C 3 = 84 (see figure 2)
Refer to figure 3 to see how 8 C 4 = 70. So there are 70 ways to pick the juniors.
Refer to figure 4 to see how 10 C 5 = 252. There are 252 ways to pick the seniors.
Finally, refer to figure 5 to see how 33 C 14 = 818,809,200. This is the number of ways to pick 14 students from a pool of 33 (add up all the students).
--------------
Multiply out the results of figures 1 through 4 to get:
15*84*70*252 = 22,226,400
This represents the number of ways to select all the students as mentioned in the instructions.
Then divide this over the result of figure 5
(22,226,400)/(818,809,200) = 0.02714478537858
This rounds to 0.027145 when rounding to 6 decimal places.
