Assume that there are 16 frozen dinners: 8 pasta, 4 chicken, and 4 seafood dinners. The student selects 5 of them.
What is the probability that at least 2 of the dinners selected are pasta dinners?
I thought the answer would be this:
(c(8,2)c(8,3)+c(8,3)c(8,2)+c(8,4)c(8,1))/c(16,5)
= 3696/4368, but this is incorrect. What am I doing wrong? :?
