    a) 120

    b) 10

    c) 1/12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The number of ways that a sample of r can be selected from a population of n is:

    nCr = n! / (r! (n-r) !)

    a) 3 people selected from a group of 10

    ₁₀C₃ = 120

    b) 3 women selected from a group of 5

    ₅C₃ = 10

    c) Of the 120 committees that can be chose, 10 are all women. So the probability is 10/120 = 1/12.
