Answer:
5/33649= approx 0.00015
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of outcomes are C24 6= 24!/(24-6)!/6!=19*20*21*22*23*24/(2*3*4*5*6)= 19*14*22*23
Half of the Committee =3 persons. That mens that number of the women in Commettee=3. 3 women from 6 can be elected C6 3 ways ( outputs)=
6!/3!/3!=4*5*6*/2/3=20
So the probability that 3 members of the commettee are women is
P(women=3)= 20/(19*14*22*23)=5/(77*19*23)=5/33649=approx 0.00015
The probability that precisely half of the members will be women is;
P(3 women) = 0.1213
This question will be solved by hypergeometric distribution which has the formula;
P(x) = [S_C_s × (N - S)_C_(n - s)]/(NC_n)
where;
S is success from population
s is success from sample
N is population size
n is sample size
We are give;
s = 3 women (which is precisely half of the members selected)
S = 6 women
N = 24 men and women
n = 6 people selected
Thus;
P(3 women) = (⁶C₃ * ⁽¹⁸⁾C₍₃₎)/(²⁴C₆)
P(3 women) = (20 * 816)/134596
P(3 women) = 0.1213
