A freshman english class at a certain college has 49 women and 20 men. If 5 students are randomly selected, what is the probability that they are all men? Round to five decimal places.
------
# of ways to succeed: 20C5

# of random sets of 5 people: 69C5
-----------------------------------
P(5 men) = 20C5/69C5 = 0.0014
