(1) First we find the numerator of the probability which is the number of way to choose 5 men (5 men) CHOOSE (5 men) = 5C5 = 1 way (That makes sense because we choose all the men in only 1 way.) Now we find the denominator of the probability, which is the number of ways to choose 5 people from the 8 people (8 people) CHOOSE (5 people) = 8C5 = 56 ways So the probability is 1 way out of 56 ways or 1/56. (2) First we find the numerator of the probability which is the number of way to choose 5 women (3 women) CHOOSE (5 women) = 3C5 = 0 (That makes sense because you can't choose 5 women because there are only 3 women.) So the probability is 0 ways out of 56 ways or 0/56 or 0. (This cannot happen because there aren't enough women to choose 5) Edwin
