In a class of 10 boys and 12 girls, a committee of 4 members is to be formed. What is the probability to form a committee consisting of 2 boys and 2 girls?A. 0.3040B. 0.4060C. 0.5060D. 0.2060

Respuesta :

Given:

Number of boys=10

Number of girls=12

Out of 22 members, 4 members is need to be selected.

To find probability to form a committee consisting of 2 boys and 2 girls:

So, we get

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{^{10}C_2\times^{12}C_2}{^{22}C_4}=\frac{\frac{10\times9}{2\times1}\times\frac{12\times11}{2\times1}}{\frac{22\times21\times20\times19}{4\times3\times2\times1}} \\ =\frac{5\times9\times6\times11}{11\times7\times5\times19} \\ =\frac{9\times6}{7\times19} \\ =\frac{54}{133} \\ =0.4060 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is B.
