A committee of 4 students is selected at random from a group consisting of 7 boys and 4 girls. Find the probability that there are exactly 2 boys in the committee, given that at least one girl must be there in the committee.
उत्तर
Let A: exactly 2 boys are in the committee,
B: at least one girl must be in the committee.
So,
P(B) = `(""^4"C"_1 xx ""^7"C"_3 + ""^4"C"_2 xx ""^7"C"_2 + ""^4"C"_3 xx ""^7"C"_1 + ""^4"C"_4)/(""^11"C"_4)`
= `(59)/(66)` &
`"P" ("A" ∩ "B") = (""^4"C"_2 xx ""^7"C"_2)/(""^11"C"_4) = (21)/(55)`.
= Now
`"P"("A"/"B") = ("P" ("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B")`
= `(21/55)/(59/66)`
= `(126)/(295)`.
