Question 1103480: Seven people are chosen from 32 men and 26 women. What is the probability that the committee contains at least 6 women? Found 2 solutions by rothauserc, richwmiller:Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Probability (P) of 6 women and 1 man = (26/58) * (25/57) * (24/56) * (23/55) * (22/54) * (21/53) * (32/52) = 0.0035
:
P of 7 women = (26/58) * (25/57) * (24/56) * (23/55) * (22/54) * (21/53) * (20/52) = 0.0022
:
P of at least 6 women = P of 6 women or P of 7 women = 0.0035 + 0.0022 = 0.0057
