Question 310501: A hat contains 20 names, 9 of which are female. If eight names are randomly drawn from the hat, what is the probablility that at least six male names are drawn? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A hat contains 20 names, 9 of which are female; 11 of which are male.
If eight names are randomly drawn from the hat, what is the probability that at least six male names are drawn?
---
P(x>=6) = P(x=6) + P(x=7) + P(x=8)
---
(11C6 + 11C7 +11C8)/20C8
---
= 957/125970
