Q7 First read the question carefully. You want 6 people, with at least 4 men and 1 women in each part of the question.
(i)
At least 4M and 1W, so the following combinations are possible:
4M, 2W
5M, 1W
That's (10C4 * 9C2) + (10C5 * 9C1) = 9828.
(ii)
Let Albert be X and Tracey be Y (treat them as separate componenents), so you have:
M M M M M M M M M........X
W W W W W W W W..........Y
Both of them HAVE to be there anyhow, so now you have to choose from the remaining 9 men and 8 women. Now the following combinations are possible:
X, 4 other men, Y
(1C1 * 9C4 * 1C1)
X, 3 other men, Y, 1 other women
(1C1 * 9C3 * 1C1 * 8C1)
No other combination is possible because then we'd have more women than men. This adds to 798.
Probability = 798/total = 798/9828 = 0.0812 (3 s.f.)
(iii)
Same concept as before, treat them as separate components (1C1). You now want X'Y, or XY' (where X' means NOT Albert).
X'Y -> (9C4 * 1C1 * 8C1) OR (9C5 * 1C1) = 1134. (Remember to consider both options 4M, 2W and 5M, 1W).
XY' -> (1C1 * 9C3 * 8C2) OR (1C1 * 9C4 + 8C1) = 3360.
Total = 1134 + 3360 = 4494.
(iv)
This one is easy, you do (total - women next to each other).
Total = 6! = 720. Now, for when the women are next to each other:
W W M M M M
The women can arrange themselves in 2! ways.
The women can be placed in 5 different places = 2! * 5.
The remaining 4 spots are arranged within the men = 2! * 5 * 4! = 240.
720 - 240 = 480.
Probability = 480/720 = 0.667.
Honestly, P&C questions are kind of difficult to explain, especially when writing solutions to them online. My explanation probably isn't that good, but meh I tried.
For almost 10 years, the site XtremePapers has been trying very hard to serve its users.
However, we are now struggling to cover its operational costs due to unforeseen circumstances. If we helped you in any way, kindly contribute and be the part of this effort. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
