Question

A small company employs 3 men and 5 women. If a team of 4 employees is to be randomly selected to organize the company retreat, what is the probability that the team will have exactly 2 women

Answer 1

Answer:

3/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways to pick 4 out of 8 = 8C4

= 8!/ 4!4!

= 70 ways.

The number of ways when  2 are women =  5C2 * 3

= 10 * 3

= 30.

So the required probability = 30/70

= 3/7.
