there are 97 men and 3 women in an organization. a simple random sample of 5 people is taken to form a committee. what is the probability that the committee includes all 3 women?



Answer :

The probability that the committee includes all 3 women is 0.00018

In this question, we have been given there are 97 men and 3 women in an organization.

A simple random sample of 5 people is taken to form a committee.

We need to find  the probability that the committee includes all 3 women.

Total number of people in the organization: 97 + 3 = 100

Usinng combination formula the possible number of 5 people committee:

100C5

= 100! / 5!(100 - 5)!

= 75287520

The number of outcomes for the committee includes all 3 women would be:

5C3 = (97C2)*3

       = 13968

So, the probability that the committee includes all 3 women would be,

P = 13968 / 75287520

P = 0.00018

Therefore, the required probability is 0.00018
