Acertain five-member committee must be assembled from a pool of five women -- a. b, c, d and e, and threemen x, y, and z, what is the probability that the committee will inciude b, c, e, y and z?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain  five-member committee must be assembled from a pool of five women -- A. B, C, D and E, and threemen X, Y, and Z,

Total no of persons available = 8

Members to be selected = 5

SInce it is not given about designation of the members elected, we can assume they are of identical position.

So order does not matter.

5 persons can be selected from 8 persons in 8C5 ways = 56

To include B,C, E, Y and Z, no of favourable ways = 1

Hence  the probability that the committee will incIude B,C, E, Y and Z

=

192/15 = 12.8.

12.8

step-by-step explanation:

192/15 is 12.8.

however, it says to round to the nearest foot, which would equal 13.
