Answer #1

Number of male subjects participating in the study = 6

Number of female subjects participating in the study = 6

Total number of subjects = 12

Probability that 6 of the subjects randomly selected for the experiment are female

= Number of ways of selecting 6 subjects from 6 female subjects / Number of ways selecting 6 subjects from 12 subjects

Probability that 6 of the subjects randomly selected for the experiment are female = 1/924 = 0.001082251
