The total number of possibilities is 35C12
The numerator is 19C6*12C6, the number of ways to choose exactly 6 women from 19 and 6 meant from 12.
That is 0.03
Calculator number MATH==PRB==3 and put in second number. ENTER.
Notice how the 19 and 16 in the numerator add to 35
The 6 and 6 in the numerator add to 12
