The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting eight individuals randomly from a pool of nine students and eleven eleven faculty.​ (a) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all​ students? (b) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty? (c) What is the probability of selecting a jury of six students and two two ​faculty? help please

Respuesta :

Answer: The probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty=0.000071

The probability of selecting a jury of six students and two two ​faculty=0.3667


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of students = 9

The number of faculty members=11

The total number of ways of selecting jury of eight individuals=[tex]^{20}C_8=\frac{20!}{(20-8)!\times8!}=125970[/tex]

The number of ways of selecting jury of all faculty=[tex]^9C_8=\frac{9!}{8!(9-8)!}=9[/tex]

The probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty=[tex]\frac{9}{125970}=0.000071[/tex]

The number of ways of selecting jury of six students and two two ​faculty

[tex]=^9C_6\times ^{11}C_2=\frac{9!}{6!(9-6)!}\times\frac{11!}{2!\times(11-2)!}\\=84\times55=4620[/tex]

Now, the probability of selecting a jury of six students and two two ​faculty

[tex]=\frac{4620}{125970}=0.03667[/tex]
