Your company is forming a team of 8 managers from different departments in the company. Your company has a total of 30 managers, and 10 of these are from the finance department. If the team is selected at random, what is the probability that the team will contain 2 managers from the finance department:
-------------
Pick 2 from finance: 10C2 = 45 ways
Pick 6 who are not from finance: 20C6 = 38760 ways
---
# of ways to succeed:: 10C2*20C6 = 1644200 ways
---
# of random sets of 8:: 30C8 = 5853925
------
Ans: P(condition) = [10C2*20C6]/30C8 = 0.2980
