<PRE><B>Question 909846</B>
Suppose a class is containing 10 women and 7 men.
 (a) In how many different ways can a team of 6 be chosen from the class?
Ans: 17C6 = 12376 ways
-----------------------------------
 (b) What if the team must contain exactly 4 women?
# of ways to succeed:: 10C4*7C2 = 4410
P(4 w and 2 m) = 4410/12376
-----------------------------------
 (c) What if the team must contain at least 4 women?
# of ways to succeed 4410 + 10C5*7C1 + 10C6 = 6384
P(at least 4 w) = 6384/12376
------------------
