Create an image of a committee meeting environment with nine individuals from diverse professions. Imagine three distinctly dressed doctors wearing white coats and stethoscopes, three legal practitioners in formal suits with briefcases, and three teachers in varied attire such as sweaters and glasses. The scene should depict a harmonious exchange of ideas, ensuring their professional identifiers are clearly visible. Feature the doctors as diverse in gender, with a South Asian man, a Caucasian woman, and a Black man. Depict the lawyers as a Hispanic woman, a Middle Eastern man, and a White woman. For the teachers, portray a Black woman, a Hispanic man, and a Middle Eastern woman.

A Committee Of 9 People Is To Be Formed From 4 Teachers,5 Doctors And 6 Lawyers. If 3 Members Of Each Profession Are To Serve In The Committee, How Many Ways Can It Be Done?

Answer

Well, let's see. If we need 3 members from each profession, that means we need 3 teachers, 3 doctors, and 3 lawyers. So, let's start with the teachers. We have 4 teachers to choose from, and we need to choose 3. That's a fairly small selection, so there aren't too many ways we can go wrong.

Now, onto the doctors. We have 5 doctors to choose from, and we need to choose 3. That's a bit more options than with the teachers, but still manageable.

Finally, the lawyers. We have 6 lawyers to choose from, and again, we need to choose 3.

So, all we need to do now is multiply the number of choices we have for each profession. 4 teachers choose 3, times 5 doctors choose 3, times 6 lawyers choose 3.

But wait! We shouldn't forget about the order in which we choose these professionals. After all, it could be a very different committee if we choose the teachers first, or the lawyers first... so we need to multiply by the number of ways we can order the chosen professionals as well.

Considering all that, I could give you the answer, but where's the fun in that? Let's just say there are quite a few ways to form this committee. So many, in fact, that you'll be needing a clown car to fit them all in! 🤡

A committee of 9 people is to be formed from 4 teacher 5 doctors and 6 lawyer if 3menber of each profession are to served

on the committee how many ways can it be done

It can be done in 800ways

To find the number of ways to form a committee of 9 people with 3 members from each profession, we can use the combination formula.

First, we need to select 3 teachers from the 4 available. This can be done in 4C3 ways, which is equal to 4.

Next, we need to select 3 doctors from the 5 available. This can be done in 5C3 ways, which is equal to 10.

Finally, we need to select 3 lawyers from the 6 available. This can be done in 6C3 ways, which is equal to 20.

To get the total number of ways to form the committee, we multiply the number of choices for each profession: 4 * 10 * 20 = 800.

Therefore, there are 800 ways to form a committee of 9 people with 3 members from each profession.

(4C3) * (5C3) * (6C3)
