The probability that I, Sharon, and Robert are chosen is 0.0012
What is the formula for calculating combinations?
The equation [tex]^{n}C_{r}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)! r!}[/tex] will be used to calculate combinations, where n is the overall number of things and r is the number of items that are being chosen at a time.
The total number of employees=18
The Boss must choose 3 employees to attend the conference.
The number of possible ways to choose 3 employees from the total of 18 employees is [tex]^{18}C_{3}[/tex] .
The equation [tex]^{n}C_{r}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)! r!}[/tex] will be used to calculate combinations,.
So, [tex]^{18}C_{3}=\frac{18!}{(18-3)! 3!}[/tex]
[tex]^{18}C_{3}=\frac{18!}{(15)! 3!}[/tex]
[tex]^{18}C_{3}=\frac{18 \times 17 \times 16 \times 15}{3 \times 2}[/tex]
[tex]^{18}C_{3} =816[/tex]
The probability that I, Sharon, and Robert are chosen is [tex]\frac{1}{816}[/tex] = 0.0012
