There are 60 people in a class. 10 are women. if we form a committee by randomly choosing 5 people, what is the probability that there will be no women on the committee?

To determine the probability that there will be no women, you need to find the probability of women and subtract it from the total

60 - 10 = 50

so you find the probability with the total number of people being 50, that way the women's probability is eliminated.

5 out of 50 multiplied by the original total of the people, 60

(5:50) * 60 = 6

Therefore the probability of randomly choosing 5 people, excluding women is 6
