<span>The Enlightment idea that reason trumped tradition is what pervaded the entire process of the writing of the Constitution. But the ProtestantEstablishment of the time viewed the enlightenment as anti religious. Historian Daniel Boorstin had significant influence when he wrote that the American Revolution was not due to a pervading influence of the Enlightment. Rather it was the common experience of the colonies of oppression. I recommend looking at the Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of the American Enlightenment</span>

A committee consists of eight women and twelve men. Three committee members will be chosen as officers. What is the probability

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The probability that all the officers are women is $\frac{56}{1140}$

Explanation:

Given a committee consisting of 8 women and 12 men, from which 3 committee members are to be chosen as officers from a committee.

The total number of committee members is 8 + 12 = 20 members

C(n,r) = $\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ which represents the number of combinations of taking r objects out of n.

The probability that all the officers are women = C(8,3) / C(20,3)

= $\frac{8!}{3!(8-3)!} / \frac{20!}{3!(20-3)!}$

= $\frac{8!}{3!5!} /\frac{20!}{3!17!}$

= $\frac{56}{1140}$

Therefore the probability that all the officers are women is $\frac{56}{1140}$
