As men and women​ age, their risk of death increases. There are also health issues that can greatly impair older​ citizens' abilities to participate in activities and travel. Assume you are planning a 60th high school reunion and are wondering how many of the older adults would be able to attend. If you know that 22 women and 18 men are still​ alive, and are told that exactly 8 of them will​ attend, what is the probability that you would have exactly four men and exactly four women​ attend?

Answer:

The total number of men and women is 42.

So the number of ways of selecting 8 people from 42 is C(42,8) = 118030185.

The number of ways of selecting 4 men from 19 and 4 women from 23 is C(19,4)*C(23,4) = 3876*8855 = 34321980

Therefore, the required probability is 34321980 / 118030185 = 0.2907
