Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Legislative Committee A legislative committee consists of 5 Democrats and 4 Republicans. A delegation of 3 is to be selected to visit a small Pacific island republic.

TO FIND: (a) How many different delegations are possible? (b) How many delegations would have all Democrats? (c) How many delegations would have 2 Democrats and 1 Republican? (d) How many delegations would include at least 1 Republican.

SOLUTION:

(a)

Total members =9

Total delegation possible=^9C_3=\frac{9!}{6!3!}

                                         =\frac{9\times8\times7}{6}=84

(b)

Total democrats =5

Total delegation possible with all democrats =^5C_3=\frac{5!}{3!2!}

                                                                          =10

(c)

Total democrats =4

Total republicans =5

Total delegations with 2 democrats and 1 republican =^4C_1\times^5C_2=\frac{4!}{3!1!}\times\frac{5!}{2!3!}

                                                                                       =4\times10=40

(d)

Total republicans =4

Total delegation with at least 1 republican =\text{total delegation possible}-\text{total delegation with all democrats}

putting values from part (a)  and (b)

Total delegation with at least 1 republican =84-10=74
