Vedclass · Answer

(A) Total number of children $= 5 + 3 = 8$.Number of ways to select $4$ children out of $8$ is given by the combination formula ${}^{n}C_{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$.Total ways $= {}^{8}C_{4} = \frac{8 	imes 7 	imes 6 	imes 5}{4 	imes 3 	imes 2 	imes 1} = 70$.Number of ways to select $4$ girls out of $5$ is ${}^{5}C_{4} = {}^{5}C_{1} = 5$.Probability of selecting $4$ girls $= \frac{	ext{Favorable outcomes}}{	ext{Total outcomes}} = \frac{5}{70} = \frac{1}{14}$.
