Hi,
A firm will promote two employees out of a group of six men and three women.
process of random selection...demonstrates that the probability of randomly selecting 2 women...
is less than the probability of randomly selecting 2 men or 1 of each.
P(2 women) = 3C2%2A6C0%2F+%289C2%29=+3%2F%289C2%29+
P(2 men) = 3C0%2A6C2%2F%289C2%29=15%2F%289C2%29+
P(1 each) = 3C1%2A6C1%2F%289C2%29=+18%2F%289C2%29
