Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7

A 3
Andrew [12]

Answer:

There are (63) combinations. The notation means "six choose three". Out of six items (flavors) choose three.

(nk)=n!k!(n−k)!.

(63)=6!3!3!.

Think of it this way. There are 6 ways to choose a flavor. Once you choose, there are 5 ways to choose the next. After that, there are 4 flavors left. which is 6!/3!=6⋅5⋅4⋅3⋅2⋅13⋅2⋅1=6⋅5⋅4=120.

But, you could have chosen {chocolate,vanilla,strawberry} and you get the same combination as {vanilla, strawberry, chocolate} so we have to divide by 3!=3⋅2⋅1=6 to account for the order of choosing.

So the number of combinations of flavors is (63)=1206=20.
