Hello, please help me solve this problem. A committee of 4 people is to be form from 6 doctors and 8 dentists. Find the probability consists of 2 dentist and 2 doctors.
------
# of ways to succeed: 8C2*6C2 = 28*15 = 420
------
# of randomly chosen groups of 4: 14C4 = 1001
----
P(2dent and 2doc) = 420/1001 = 0.4196
