SOLUTION
Step 1: write out the parameters given
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7\text{women} \\ 6\text{men} \end{gathered}[/tex]The instructor is to choose 4 people in a swing dance
Hence we have a combination
Step2: Write out the combination expression
Since one men of fewer is to be choosen then we gave
[tex](7C3\times6C1)+(7C4+6C0)[/tex]Srep3; Simplify the expression above
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Recall that} \\ nCr=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} \\ 7C3=\frac{7!}{(7-3)!3!}=\frac{7!}{4!3!}=35 \\ 6C1=\frac{6!^{}}{(6-1)!1!}=\frac{6!}{5!1!^{}}=6 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Then
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7C4=\frac{7!}{(7-4)!4!}=\frac{7!}{3!4!}=35 \\ 7C0=\frac{7!}{(7-0)!0!}=\frac{7!}{7!0!}=1 \\ \text{where 0!=1} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step4: Substitute the value into the expression in step 2, we obtain
[tex]\begin{gathered} (7C3\times6C1)+(7C4+6C0) \\ (35\times6)+(35\times1) \\ 210+35=245 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the instructor can make the choice in 245 ways
