Question 977325: If you know that 20 women and 16 men are still alive, and are told exactly ten of them will attend, what is the probability that you would have exactly five men and exactly five women attend?
Please explain in detail how you got the answer. Answer by anand429(138) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No of ways 10 out of 36 people can attend = 36C10 =A (say)
No. of ways in which 5 men and 5 women can attend = 20C5 * 16C5 =B (say)
So Req. probability = B/A
