Answer:
[tex]\frac{2519}{2520}[/tex]Explanation:
Here, we want to get the probability that at least one man is assigned to the swing shift
From the question, 3 of the employees are assigned to the swing shift
Thus we have to calculate the probability of:
1 man , 2 men or 3 men
Mathematically, we have that as:
1 - p(all of the swing shift employees are women)
For the swing shift, for all them to be women, we will be selecting 3 out of 3 so the combination here is 3 C 3 which is 1
We now calculate the probability by dividing this value by the total number of possible ways
Mathematically, we have that as follows:
[tex]\frac{1}{10\text{ C 5 }\times\text{ 5 C 3 }^\times\text{ 1}}\text{ = }\frac{1}{2520}[/tex]This is the probability of placing all of the women on the swing shift
So, the probability that at least 1 man is assigned will be:
[tex]1-\text{ }\frac{1}{2520}\text{ = }\frac{2519}{2520}[/tex]
