A group consists of five men and seven women. six people are selected to attend a conference.

a. in how many ways can six people be selected from this group of twelve ?

(12 over 6) = 924

b. in how many ways can six women be selected from the seven women?

(7 over 6) = 7

c. find the probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

7 / 924 = 1/132 = 0.007576
