The classification of faculty at a college is indicated in the following table:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".........................Male Female Total
\n" ); document.write( "Professor................12 3 15
\n" ); document.write( "Associate professor......15 9 24
\n" ); document.write( "Assistant professor..... 18 8 26
\n" ); document.write( "Instructor........ 20 15 35
\n" ); document.write( "Total............. 65 35 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) If a committee of three faculty members is selected at random what is the probability that:
\n" ); document.write( "i) All females.::
\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to select 3 female faculty members:: 35C3
\n" ); document.write( "# pf ways to select 3 random faculty members:: 100C3
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ans:: 35C3/100C3 = 0.0405
\n" ); document.write( "ii) A professor and two associate professor
\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to select a professor (15) and 2 assoc. profs (24C2)::
\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to select 3 random faculty members:: 100C3
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Ans:: [15*24C2]/100C3 = 0.0256
\n" ); document.write( "b) If a faculty member is selected at random from this college, find the probability that:
\n" ); document.write( "i) The faculty is male, given that the faculty is instructor.
\n" ); document.write( "Ans:: (# of ways to succeed)/(# of random selection) = 20/35
\n" ); document.write( "ii)The faculty is not professor given that the faculty is female
\n" ); document.write( "Ans:: (# of ways to succeed)/(# of random selections) = 32/35
