The total number of ways the study can be selected is: 637065

Given,

Total number of women in a group= 13

Total number of men in a group = 12

Number of women chosen = 8

Number of men chosen = 8

∴ the total number of ways the study group can be selected = 13C₈ and 12C₈.

This in the form of combination factor = nCr

                                                     ∴ nCr = n!/(n₋r)! r!

13C₈ = 13!/(13 ₋ 8)! 8!

        = 13!/5!.8!

        = 1287

12C₈ = 12!/(12₋8)! 8!

        = 12!/5! 8!

        = 495

Now multiply both the combinations of men and women

= 1287 × 495

= 637065

Hence the total number of ways the study group is selected is 637065
