Suppose that this course has 60 students. There are 40 IT majors and 20 non-IT majors. You draw a simple random sample of 12 of the students in the class. What is the probability that the number of IT majors in your sample is equal to the number of non-IT majors?
Added by Andrew W.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the total number of ways to choose 12 students out of 60: The total number of ways to choose 12 students out of 60 is given by the combination formula: C(60, 12) = 60! / (12!(60-12)!) = 832,405,060 Show more…

You may round your answer to two decimal points.
