Question: Question: Jacob & Johnson, an accounting frim, employs 14 accountants, of whom 8 are CPA's. If a delegation of 3 accountants is randomly selected from the firm to attend a conference, what is the probability that 3 CPA;s will be selected. ??

Answer:
From the question, 14 accountants are employed, where 8 are CPA's, which means that 6 are accountants that aren't CPA's

The probability of choosing a CPA for the first member of the conference is 6/14

The probability of choosing a CPA for the second member of the conference is 5/13 since only 13 accountants remain, where 5 are CPA's

The probability of choosing a CPA for the third member of the conference is 4/12 since only 12 accountants remain, where 4 are CPA's

Thus,

prob = (6/14)*(5/13)*(4/12) ------------> 20/2184 = 5/546
