Question 787015
The US Senate consists of 13 women and 18 men. If you randomly select five different senators.
a. In how many possible ways can we select five senators out of this group?
Ans: 31C5 = 169911 ways
----------------------- 
b. What is the probability that if we select five senators two of them are female?
# of ways to succeed:: 13C2*18C3
# of possible outcomes: 169911
----
P(2 female) = [63648)/169911 = 0.3746
