A labor dispute has arisen concerning the distribution of 20 laborers to four different construction jobs. The first job is considered to be very undesirable and requires 6 laborers. The second, third and fourth jobs require 4, 5 and 5 laborers, respectively. The dispute arose over an alleged random distribution of the laborers to the jobs that placed all 4 members of a particular ethnic group on job 1. In considering whether the assignment represented injustice, a mediation panel desired the probability of the observed event. Determine the number of sample points in the sample space S for this experiment. That is determine the number of ways the 20 laborers can be divided into groups of the appropriate sizes to fill all of the jobs. Find the probability of the observed event if it is assumed that the laborers are randomly assigned to jobs.

To assign employees to work, we have to select 6 out of 20 to do work, instead select 4 out of another 14 jobs, 2 to do, and 5 out of another 10 works 3. The other five were going to go do work four. They may decide how often ways of making each of these options. Their service would be how many forms to allocate those four positions to staff. The random sample is from the height.

There are equally estimated that numbers of arrangements with both the four in Job 1.They then allocate all four to work 1. In this situation We must then select 2 out from the 16 existing spaces in job 1, 4 out from the 14 remaining spaces in job 2, 5 out of the 10 existing spaces in job 3 as well as the ones remaining in job 4.

The possibility of any four being at 1 is that they've been all divided by the overall amount of circumstances in 1 task.
