Question:

Out of 5 girls and 3 boys, 4 children are to be randomly selected for a quiz contest. What is the probability that all selected are girls?

Options:

$\frac{2}{17}$

$\frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{5}{17}$

$\frac{1}{14}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{14}$

Explanation:

Total number of ways of selecting 4 children out of 8

8C4= (8×7×6×5)/(1×2×3×4) = 70

Number of ways of selecting 4 girls out of 5 =5C4=5

Required probability = 5/70 = 1/14
