You can put this solution on YOUR website! Three hundred people apply for three jobs. 135 of the applicants are women. If three people from the group are randomly selected,
--------------------------------
find the probability that:
There are two women and one man
# of ways to succeed:: 135C2 * 165C1
# of possible groups of 3:: 300C3
-----
Ans:: P(2 woman and 1 man) = [135C2*165]/300C3
-------------------------
and the probability that there are more men than women.
P(2men & 1woman OR 3men) = [165C2*135 + 165C3]/300C3
