from a group of 3 freshmen, 4 sophomores, 4 juniors, and 3 seniors, a committee of size four is randomly selected. find the probability that the committee will consists of only sophomores or juniors? round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Sagot :

Probability of randomly selecting four committee members with only sophomores or juniors is equal to 0.77.

As given in the question,

Total number of group members including 3 freshmen, 4 sophomores, 4 juniors, and 3 seniors = 14

Number of members required to form a committee = 4

Condition apply:

Committee consists of only sophomores or juniors

Let 'A' represents the sophomores

'B' represents the juniors

Total number of possible outcomes = ¹⁴C₄

Event A and B are independent of each other.

Favourable outcomes are :

2(⁴C₀⁴C₄ + ⁴C₁⁴C₃) +⁴C₂⁴C₂

Required probability

= 2(⁴C₀⁴C₄ + ⁴C₁⁴C₃) +⁴C₂⁴C₂ / ( ¹⁴C₄)

= [2( 1 + 16) + 36 ] / ( 7 × 13 )

= 70 /  91

=0.77

Therefore, the probability of the committee consists of only sophomores or juniors is equal to 0.77.
