You can put this solution on YOUR website! A combination of 10 nurses are selected out of 90 for a study. 20 of the 90 nurses are male (70 female). What is the probability that exactly 4 of the 10 will be male (6 female)?
-------
# of ways to succeed: 20C4 * 70C6
-----
# of possible outcomes: 90C10
-----------------
P(4 male and 6 female) = [20C4*70C6]/90C10 = 0.1110
