a committee of 5 students is to be selected at random from a group consisting of 6 boys and 7 girls. what is the probability that at most three girls out of 5 will include in this committee?
----
P(at most 3) = 1 - [P(4) + P(5)]
= 1 - [(7C4*6C1)/13C5 + (7C5)/13C5]
-----
= 1 - [(210+ 21)/1287]
----
= 1 - [0.1795]
----
= 0.8205
