Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow:
A committee of 6 members is formed from a group of 7 gentlemen and 4 ladies.

What is the probability that the committee includes at least 2 ladies?

Options

  1. A4166\dfrac{41}{66}
  2. B4766\dfrac{47}{66}
  3. C4966\dfrac{49}{66}
  4. D5366\dfrac{53}{66}

Correct answer

D. 5366\dfrac{53}{66}

Step-by-step solution

Total number of people is 7+4=117 + 4 = 11.

Total number of ways to select a committee of 66 members is ^{11}C_{6} = 462.<br><br>Thenumberofwaystoformacommitteewithlessthan2.<br><br>The number of ways to form a committee with less than 2 ladies (i.e., 00 or 11 lady) is ^{4}C_{0} \times ^{7}C_{6} + ^{4}C_{1} \times ^{7}C_{5}.<br><br>4C0×7C6=1×7=7.<br><br>^{4}C_{0} \times ^{7}C_{6} = 1 \times 7 = 7

Number of ways to form a committee with at least 22 ladies is 462−91=371462 - 91 = 371.

Required probability is 371462=5366\dfrac{371}{462} = \dfrac{53}{66}.

Answer: 5366\dfrac{53}{66}
