Jacobs & johnson, an accounting firm, employs 17 accountants, of whom 6 are cpas. if a delegation of 4 accountants is randomly selected from the firm to attend a conference, what is the probability that 4 cpas will be selected? (round your answer to three decimal places.)

Probability will be 0.3428

Explanation:

Because probability is the preferred over total, we want the number of delegations with 2 CPA's over the number of total delegations.

We have 9 CPA's and we need to choose 2, thus the number of delegations with 2 CPA's

To find the total number of delegations, we have 15 accountants and we need to choose 2, thus,

Thus our probability will be  

there are no options provided but you can choose among the following gender-neutral pronouns: zir, hir, eir, vis, tem, eir.

in the normal course of maintaining a pronoun-antecedent agreement, we could have used the words his or her but since we are also required to use gender-neutral language, we need to replace it with its equivalent gender-neutral pronoun.
