a panel of 6 judges is being selected from a group of 10 males and 10 females.What is the probability of selecting exactly 3 male?

Verified Answer :

10nCr6 over 6nCr3 this should give you the answer

Probability of selecting exactly 3 male is equals to

What is probability?

" Probability is defined as the ration of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes."

Formula used

Probability = \(\frac{n(S)}{n(T)}\)

\(n(S) =\) Number of favourable outcomes

\(n(T)=\) Total number of outcomes

According to the question,

Total number of males \(=10\)

Total number of females \(=10\)

Number of judges for a panel to be selected \(=6\)

As per given condition ,

Total number of outcomes \(= 20\rm C_{6}\)

Number of selecting exactly 3 males for 6 judges \(= 10\rm C_3\times 10\rm C_3\)

Substitute the value in the formula to get the required probability,

Probability of selecting exactly 3 males \(= \frac{ 10\rm C_3\times 10\rm C_3}{20\rm C_{6}}\)

                                                                   \(= \frac{120}{323}\)

Hence, the probability of selecting exactly 3 males is equals to \(\frac{120}{323}\).
