**a) Committee of Three Faculty Members:**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**i) Probability of all females:**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Total number of females: 35
\n" ); document.write( "* Total number of faculty: 100
\n" ); document.write( "* Number of ways to choose 3 females: ³⁵C₃ = (35 \* 34 \* 33) / (3 \* 2 \* 1) = 6545
\n" ); document.write( "* Number of ways to choose any 3 faculty: ¹⁰⁰C₃ = (100 \* 99 \* 98) / (3 \* 2 \* 1) = 161700
\n" ); document.write( "* Probability: 6545 / 161700 ≈ 0.0405\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**ii) Probability of a professor and two associate professors:**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Number of ways to choose 1 professor: ¹⁵C₁ = 15
\n" ); document.write( "* Number of ways to choose 2 associate professors: ²⁴C₂ = (24 \* 23) / (2 \* 1) = 276
\n" ); document.write( "* Number of ways to choose 1 professor and 2 associate professors: 15 \* 276 = 4140
\n" ); document.write( "* Probability: 4140 / 161700 ≈ 0.0256\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**b) Single Faculty Member Selected:**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**i) Probability of male, given instructor:**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Number of male instructors: 20
\n" ); document.write( "* Total number of instructors: 35
\n" ); document.write( "* Probability: 20 / 35 ≈ 0.5714\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**ii) Probability of not professor, given female:**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Total number of female faculty: 35
\n" ); document.write( "* Number of female professors: 3
\n" ); document.write( "* Number of female faculty who are not professors: 35 - 3 = 32
\n" ); document.write( "* Probability: 32 / 35 ≈ 0.9143
\n" ); document.write( "
