in a group of 21 people, seven own an ITouch phone. If 9 people are selected at random what is the probability that 5 own an ITouch
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to select 5 owning an ITouch: 7C5 = 7C2 = 7*6/1*2 = 21
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to select 4 not owning ITouch: 14C4 = 1001
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to select 9 without restriction: 21C9 = 293,930
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Probability = [21*1001]/[293,930] = 0.07152
\n" ); document.write( "===================================================
