If a committee of 3 is to be chosen from a group of 38 people of which you are a member. What is the probability that you will be on the committee?

A

`((38)/(3))`

B

`((37)/(2))`

C

`((37)/(2))//((38)/(2))`

D

`(666)/(8436)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

From the given condition it is clear that a particular person is always is a committee of 3 person is always in a committee of 3 person. It means we have to select 2 person out of 37 person.
`therefore` Required probability ,brgt `=(.^(37)C_(2))/(.^(38)C_(3))=(666)/(8436)`
