Find the probablity of selecting 3 science books and 4 math books from 8 science books and 9 math books. The books are selected at random.
--------------
# of ways to succeed: 8C3 * 9C4 = 7056 ways
-----
# of possible outcomes: 17C7 = 19448
---------------
P(4 math and 3 science) = 7056/19448 = 0.3628
