A room contains 15 professionals: 4 doctors, 2 nurses, 5 personal trainers, 3 dentists, and 1 lawyer. You will select 4 of them to chair a committee.
what is the probability that the committee is entirely professionals of the same type?
what is the probability that the committee has at least 1 personal trainer?
what is the probability that all four members are from a different profession?
Solution
There are 15 professionals 4 doctors, 2 nurses, 5 trainers, 3 dentists and 1 lawyer
Selecting 4 from them can be done in 15C4 ways.
If all 4 are of the same type, no of ways of selecting is 4C4 or 5c4 because othres are less than 4.
Hence probability = favourable ways/total ways = 4c4+5c4/15c4
= 6/1365
2/455 =0.0044
