Question

A team of 5people to be selected from 7women & 6men. Find the number of different teams that could be selected if there must be more women than men in the team

Answer 1

1246 teams

Explanation:

We are told there are 7women & 6men.

If 5 people are selected and there must be more women than men in the team.

This means there must be a minimum of 3 women.

Thus;

For 3 women;

7C3 × 6C2 = 525

For 4 women;

7C4 × 6C3 = 700

For 5 women;

7C5 × 6C0 = 21

Thus;

Total = 525 + 700 + 21 = 1246 teams
