Question 1:
There are five male and six female final year Biology students available to join the
UKZN students’ assistance council for the COVID-19 disaster. From this group, only
four can be chosen to join the council can the council be
formed if the council is to have at least three women in it?
Number of ways to have 4 Females and 0 males:
pot Fareed (anes
Experiment 1: Choosing 4 females from the 6 available
6:
15
34 Experiment 2: Choosing 0 Males from the 5 available
5c0=1
We chose the council at the same time, therefore, use the multiplication rule
6C4 x 5CO = 15 ways
Total # of ways to form council with at least 3 women = 100 + 15 = 115
