Question 693452: I am sorry for the duplicate post. This is an important concept that I can't seem to grasp.
A group consists of 6 men and 5 women. 4 people are selected. How many ways can 4 people be selected from this group of 11? (330). How many ways can 4 men be selected from the group of 6 men? (15). How do I figure out the probability that all 4 of the selected members will be men? Thanks in Advance.

---------------------------
# of ways to succeed = 15
# of possible outcomes = 330
---
P(4 men are selected) = 15/330 = 0.0455
