Question

2. Decide whether the exercise involves permutations or combinations, and then solve the problem.

In a club with 7 male and 11 female members, how many 6-member committees can be chosen that have
(a) all men?
(b) all women?
(c) 4 men and 2 women?
Does the problem involve permutations or combinations?

Answer 1

I think they are all combination because order doesn't matter but I don't have a calculator with me to give you EXACT answers for all of them

Explanation:

I think combinations because order doesn't matter; or it isn't mentioned. I could be wrong as I'm still learning and confused with finite as well. But to do these, you would do the formula of the probability of an event which is E= favorable outcome/total probabilities.. so for all men 7c6/18c6 and then do the same thing for the rest but for the right ratios and whatnot.
