The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting six individuals randomly from a pool of eleven students and thirteen faculty.​ (a) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all​ students? (b) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty? (c) What is the probability of selecting a jury of two students and four ​faculty?

Respuesta :

Answer: a) [tex]\dfrac{3}{874}[/tex]

b) [tex]\dfrac{30}{3059}[/tex]

c) [tex]\dfrac{3575}{12236}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of students : 11

Number of faculty members : 13

Total persons : [tex]11+13=24[/tex]

Total number of ways to structure a jury of six people from a group of 24 people :-

[tex]^{24}C_{6}=\dfrac{24!}{6!(24-6)!}=134596[/tex]

a) Number of ways of selecting a jury of all​ students :-

[tex]^{11}C_{6}=\dfrac{11!}{6!(11-6)!}=462[/tex]

Then , the probability of selecting a jury of all​ students :-

[tex]\dfrac{462}{134596}=\dfrac{3}{874}[/tex]

b) Number of ways of selecting a jury of all​ faculty :-

[tex]^{13}C_{6}=\dfrac{13!}{6!(13-6)!}=462[/tex]

Then , the probability of selecting a jury of all​ students :-

[tex]\dfrac{1716}{134596}=\dfrac{30}{3059}[/tex]

c) Number of ways of selecting a jury of two students and four ​faculty :-

[tex]^{11}C_{2}\times^{13}C_{4}=\dfrac{11!}{2!(11-2)!}\times\dfrac{13!}{4!(13-4)!}=39325[/tex]

Then , the probability of selecting a jury of all​ students :-

[tex]\dfrac{39325}{134596}=\dfrac{3575}{12236}[/tex]
