MrRoyal

There are 4.15E12 ways to select the members of the committee to have the same number of Reds as Blues

How to determine the number of ways?

The given parameters are:

Reds = 44

Blues = 56

Committee member = 10

To have the same number of Reds as Blues, the committee must have 5 reds and 5 blues.

So, the number of ways is;

Ways = 44C5 * 56C5

Evaluate the combination expressions:

Ways =  1.086008 E+6 *  3.819816 E+6

Evaluate the product

Ways =  4.15E12

Hence, there are 4.15E12 ways to select the members of the committee
