You can put this solution on YOUR website! In how many ways can a committee of six(6) members be selected from ten(10) students, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I,and J so that
a) at least one of the students A, F, and H will be included in the committee?
b) not one of A, F, and H is included in the committee?
------------
Prob(at least one of A,F,H is included) + Prob(none of A,F,H is included = 1
---------------
Prob (none of A,F,H is included) = 7C6/10C6 = 7/210 = 1/30
-------------
Prob (at least one of A,F,H is included) = 1 - 1/30 = 29/30
