A country has two political parties, the Reds and the Blues. The 100-member senate has 44 Reds and 56 Blues. How many ways are there to pick a 10 member committee of senators with the same number of Reds as Blues

Respuesta :

There are 4.15E12 ways to select the members of the committee to have the same number of Reds as Blues

How to determine the number of ways?

The given parameters are:

Reds = 44

Blues = 56

Committee member = 10

To have the same number of Reds as Blues, the committee must have 5 reds and 5 blues.

So, the number of ways is;

Ways = 44C5 * 56C5

Evaluate the combination expressions:

Ways =  1.086008 E+6 *  3.819816 E+6

Evaluate the product

Ways =  4.15E12

Hence, there are 4.15E12 ways to select the members of the committee
