Problema Solution

Answer provided by our tutors

No. of Players-12

No. of men-5

No. of Women-7

No of Players Selected-6(4 women,2 men)

Solution- (12C6)*(7C4)*(5C2)

6 players can be chosn from a total of 12 in 12C6 ways

among them 4 women can be selected out of 7 in 7C4

and 2 men in 5C2 ways.

using bayes theorem-

probability of this selection =

(probalibilty of selecting 4 women and 2 men)/((probability of selecting 6 women 0 men)+(probability of selecting 5 women 1 man)+(probablity of selecting 4 women and 2 men)...(probablity of selecting 1 woman and 5 men))

=(323400)/((924)+(6468)+(323400)+(323400)+(97020)+(32430))

=0.41268
