Question

There are 4 women and 4 men on a committee. A subcommittee of three people is selected at random. What is the probability that all three people selected are women, given that all three selected are the same gender?

Answer 1

Remember that most probability questions are kind of like fractions .

So in all , there is 8 people because 4 girls and four boys.

So we need a fraction to represent the probability of 3 of the same gender .

If they are all the same gender . Then the probability would be 3/4 or another fraction to show both genders combined is 3/8.

You don't need to reduce since it's already in its lowest form.


I hope this helps!
