The total number of outcomes is C(100, 7). The number of outcomes wherein there are 3 friends and 4 non-friends is C(12, 3) times C(88, 4). So the probility of having 3 friends selected is

                                                                                                     \(\frac{C(12, 3)\times C(88,4)}{C(100, 7)}\).
