There are 11 students on a committee. To decide which 4 of these students will attend a conference, 4 names are chosen at random by pulling names one at a time from a hat. What is the probability that Sarah, Jamal, Kate, and Mai are chosen in any order

0.003 = 0.3% probability that Sarah, Jamal, Kate, and Mai are chosen in any order.

Step-by-step explanation:

The students are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

In this question:

11 students means that

4 are Sarah, Jamal, Kate, and Mai, so

4 are chosen, which means that

What is the probability that Sarah, Jamal, Kate, and Mai are chosen in any order?

This is P(X = 4). So

0.003 = 0.3% probability that Sarah, Jamal, Kate, and Mai are chosen in any order.

the answer is a
