<PRE><B>Question 249154</B>
In a math class, 12 out of 15 girls are freshmen and 11 out of 15 boys are freshmen. What is the probability that in a randomly selected group of five students from the class, there will be two freshmen girls and three freshmen boys? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest thousandth. 
----------
# of ways to select 2 freshman girls: 12C2
# of ways to select 3 freshman boys: 11C3
---
# of ways to pick 5 students without restriction: 30C5
-----------------
P(2 frosh girls and 3 frosh boys) = [12C2*11C3]/30C5 = [66*55]/142506=0.0255
