Answer:

The probability that 2 certain people will serve on that committee is 11.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to make a committee 4 men are chosen out of 6 candidates, to determine what is the probability that 2 certain people will serve on that committee the following calculation must be performed:

4/6 = 2/3

1/3 x 1/3 = X

0.333 x 0.333 = X

0.1111 = X

Therefore, the probability that 2 certain people will serve on that committee is 11.11%.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

6 groups, and 4 certain people

6

   C

        4

[tex]\frac{6!}{(6-2)!(2!)}[/tex]

1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6/1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 1 × 2

1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6/1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 1 × 2

5 × 6/ 1 × 2

30/2 = 15

15 possible combinations

4 people, and 2 specific ones

4

   C

        2

[tex]\frac{4!}{(4-2)!(2!)}[/tex]

1 × 2 × 3 × 4/1 × 2 × 1 × 2

1 × 2 × 3 × 4/1 × 2 × 1 × 2

12/2 = 6

[tex]\frac{6}{15}=\frac{\frac{6}{3} }{\frac{15}{3} } =\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
