This post consists of 3 separate pieces, and this piece " . . . 3 females and 4 males." IS NOT RELEVANT to the question.
Thus the meaning of the problem is dark, and therefore, it is NOT a Math problem, at all.
If the meaning of a problem or its parts is dark, it is not a Math problem.
It is a FAKE, instead.
Formulation of a Math problem is a subject subordinated to strict rules.
It is not bla-bla-bla, as some people may think, unfamiliar with the subject.
