Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

female = 23 and male = 19 faculty members

Randomly selected member are = 6

In point 1:

The Probability to equally selecting men and women:


= ((23C3+19C3))/(42C6)

In point 2:

The Probability of selecting at least 4 men:


= (((19C4 * 23C2)+(19C5 * 23C1)+(19C6)))/(42C6)

In point 3:

The probability in which no women are chosen implies that 6 selected members are from 23 women:


= (23C6 )/(42C6)

In point 4:

The Probability in which no more than 4 women are selected:


(((19C6)+(23C1 * 19C5)+(23C2 * 19C4)+(23C3 * 19C3)+(23C4 * 19C2)))/(42C6)
