In a club with 12 male and 8 female​ members, a 8​-member committee will be randomly chosen. find the probability that the committee contains 3 men and 5 women.

Respuesta :

total 20 persons
so total outcome = 20c8
now event to choose 3men out of 12 by 12c3
and 5 women out of 8 by 8c5
so no . favourable outcome = 12c3*8c5
probability = favourable outcome/total outcome
= 12c3*8c5/20c8
