Dan is in the bowling club.There are 29 students in the club.
Four of them will be picked at random to attend an awards banquet.
What is the probability that Dan will not be picked to attend the banquet?
------
# of groups of 4 that do not contain Dan: 28C4
---
# of randomly selected groups of 4: 29C4
------
P(Dan not picked) = 28C4/29C4 = 0.8621
