You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 10 seniors, 8 juniors, 6 sophomores, and 4 freshmen on the bowling team. Mr. PIN wants to send one student from each grade to a tournament. What is the probability that he sends 1 senior, 1 junior, 1 sophomore, and 1 freshman to the tournament?
--------
# of ways to get one of each:: 10*8*6*4
----
# of random sets of 4 students: 28C4
-----
P(one of each) = (1920)/20,475 = 0.0938
