You can put this solution on YOUR website! four men and eight women apply for a job. only three will be hired.
what is the probability that all three will be men?
# of ways to succeed: 4C3 = 4
# of possible outcomes: 12C3 = 220
P(3 men) = 4/220 = 1/55
----------------------------------
what is the probability that 2 will be men and 1 will be a woman?
# of ways to succeed: (4C2)(8C1) = 6*8 = 48
P(2men and 1 women) = 48/220 = 12/55
