Question about Data Management I was looking at a question in Data Management, and it was about a committee of five, needing to be formed from seven boys and five girls. The question asked the total possible ways that there would be more boys than girls, and the answer would include C(7,3) * C(5,2) + C(7,4) * C(5,1) + C(7,5). [i]My[/i] question is: should it be possible that there are more boys than girls, even though, it is impossible to compare the amount of boys to the not-existing amount of girls, and should C(7,5) be excluded? The answer to the question includes C(7,5), by the way.
