Answer:
a) Probability that a 5 member committee will have all men = 0.0065
b) probability that a 5 member committee chosen randomly will have 3 men and 2 women = 0.294
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of men = 8
Number of women = 10
Total number of members = 10 + 8 = 18
Probability = (Number of possible outcomes)/(Total number of outcomes)
Number of ways of selecting a 5 member committee from 18 people = = 8568 ways
a) Probability that a 5 member committee will have all men
Number of ways of selecting 5 men from 8 men
= = 56 ways
Probability that a 5 member committee will have all men = 56/8568
Probability that a 5 member committee will have all men = 0.0065
b)probability that a 5 member committee chosen randomly will have 3men and 2 women
Number of ways of selecting 3 men from 8 men
= = 56 ways
Number of ways of selecting 2 women from 10 men
= = 45 ways
Number of ways of selecting 3 men and 2 women = 56*45
Number of ways of selecting 3 men and 2 women = 2520
Probability of selecting 3 men and 2 women = 2520/8568 = 0.294
probability that a 5 member committee chosen randomly will have 3 men and 2 women = 0.294
