A committee of six people is to be selected from a group of 14 people. Six of the 14 people are men and the rest are women.

a)  If a committee is randomly selected, find the probability that the committee has no women.

The number  of possible committees = C(14,6)   = 3003

 

But.......only one of these contains all six men

 

So.....the probability of no women =   1 / 3003 =   0.0003330003330003  = about   .0333%
