From the 10 male and 8 female sales representatives for an insurance company, a team of 4 men and 3 women will be selected to attend a national conference on insurance fraud.
We have to find in how many ways can the team of 7 be selected if we choose 4 men from the 10 and 3 women from the 8: n = 4C10 * 3C8 = = [( 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 ) / ( 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 )] * [( 8 * 7 * 6 ) / ( 3 * 2 * 1 )] = = 5040 / 24 * 336 / 6 = 210 * 56 = 11,760 Answer: The team of 7 can be selected in 11,760 ways.
