Let's calculate the combinations manually using the formula for combinations: \[ \binom{n}{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} \] ### Step 1: Calculate \(\binom{23}{5}\) \[ \binom{23}{5} = \frac{23!}{5! \cdot 18!} = \frac{23 \times 22 \times 21 \times 20 \times 19}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 23 \times 22 = 506 \] \[ 506 \times 21 = 10626 \] \[ 10626 \times 20 = 212520 \] \[ 212520 \times 19 = 4037880 \] Now calculating the denominator: \[ 5! = 120 \] Now, we can calculate \(\binom{23}{5}\): \[ \binom{23}{5} = \frac{4037880}{120} = 33649 \] ### Step 2: Calculate \(\binom{13}{5}\) \[ \binom{13}{5} = \frac{13!}{5! \cdot 8!} = \frac{13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 13 \times 12 = 156 \] \[ 156 \times 11 = 1716 \] \[ 1716 \times 10 = 17160 \] \[ 17160 \times 9 = 154440 \] Now calculating the denominator (which is still \(120\)): \[ \binom{13}{5} = \frac{154440}{120} = 1287 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the probability that all 5 members on the committee will be girls Now we can find the probability: \[ P(\text{all girls}) = \frac{\binom{13}{5}}{\binom{23}{5}} = \frac{1287}{33649} \] This fraction can be simplified if necessary, but let's present it as is for now. ### Final Answer for Part a: The probability that all 5 members on the committee will be girls is: \[ \frac{1287}{33649} \] Now, let's move on to part b. ### b. Probability that all 5 members of the committee will be boys 1. **Calculate the number of ways to choose 5 boys from 10:** \[ \text{Ways to choose boys} = \binom{10}{5} \] 2. **Calculate the probability:** \[ P(\text{all boys}) = \frac{\binom{10}{5}}{\binom{23}{5}} \] ### Step 1: Calculate \(\binom{10}{5}\) \[ \binom{10}{5} = \frac{10!}{5! \cdot 5!} = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 10 \times 9 = 90 \] \[ 90 \times 8 = 720 \] \[ 720 \times 7 = 5040 \] \[ 5040 \times 6 = 30240 \] Now calculating the denominator (which is still \(120\)): \[ \binom{10}{5} = \frac{30240}{120} = 252 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the probability that all 5 members of the committee will be boys Now we can find the probability: \[ P(\text{all boys}) = \frac{\binom{10}{5}}{\binom{23}{5}} = \frac{252}{33649} \] ### Final Answer for Part b: The probability that all 5 members of the committee will be boys is: \[ \frac{252}{33649} \] ### c. Probability that there will be at least 1 girl on the committee To find the probability of at least 1 girl, we can use the complement rule: \[ P(\text{at least 1 girl}) = 1 - P(\text{all boys}) \] Substituting the value we found for \(P(\text{all boys})\): \[ P(\text{at least 1 girl}) = 1 - \frac{252}{33649} \] Calculating this: \[ P(\text{at least 1 girl}) = \frac{33649 - 252}{33649} = \frac{33397}{33649} \] ### Final Answer for Part c: The probability that there will be at least 1 girl on the committee is: \[ \frac{33397}{33649} \]
