I'm sending you the same answer I worked out for
some other student this morning:
-----------
A football coach has five guards and seven tackles trying out for the squad.as a final cut, five of these players will be cut at random. find the probablity that the group of players cut will
a. consist of guards DISABLED_event_only= 5C5/12C5 = 1/792
b. consist of tackles DISABLED_event_only= 7C5/12C5 = 21/792
c. consist of three guards and two tackles= [5C3*7C2]/792 = 210/792

I'm going to assume you see the pattern and can do "d","e", and "f"
yourself.
If not, let me know.
