Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 10 men and 5 women in a conference room

total People=15

(a)Probability that the committee consists of 2 men and 2 women

we have to select from 10 men and 5 women

[tex]P=\frac{^5C_2\times ^{10}C_2}{^{15}C_4}[/tex]

(b)Bob and Jane end up on the same committee

as bob and Jane are necessary to include so there are 4 women and 9 men left to select remaining 2 person

[tex]P=\frac{^{13}C_2}{^{15}C_4}[/tex]

(c)Bob is in the committee but Jane is not

9 men and 4 women left to choose other 3 person

[tex]P=\frac{^{13}C_3}{^{15C_4}}[/tex]
