a group consists of six men and five women.Three people are selected to attend a conference.

a) how many ways can three people be selected from this group of eleven?

"11 choose 3" = %2811%2A10%2A9%29%2F%283%2A2%2A1%29+=+165

b) In how many ways can three women be selected from the five women?

"5 choose 3" = %285%2A4%2A3%29%2F%283%2A2%2A1%29+=+10

c) Find the probability that selected group will consist of all women.

From parts a and b, 10%2F165+=+2%2F33
