Algebra.Com's Answer #716873 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The denominator is 16C5=4368 \n" ); document.write( "a) numerator is 10C3*6C2=120*15=1800, so that probability is 0.4121 \n" ); document.write( "b) 10C5*6C0*1=252, probability is 0.0577 \n" ); document.write( "c) 10C4*6C1=210*6=1260, probability is 0.2885 PLUS probability of 5 women, which is 0.0577 for overall probability of 0.3462, adding, and using the numerators above get an exact answer which rounds to the same number. \n" ); document.write( " |
