Hi,

An employer interviews  8 people for 4 technical support positions in a company, and 3 of the 8 people are men. 

If all 8 are qualified, in how many ways can the employer fill the technical support positions if exactly 2 are men

 3C2*5C2= 3*10 = 30 ways

-----

# of ways to pick 2 men: 3C2 = 3

# of ways to pick 2 women: 5C2 = 10

----

# of ways to satisfy the problem condition: 3*10 = 30
