Question

The sta association of the branch resolved that the sub-committee which is to inspect the canteen accounts should be constituted by lot rather than by election, so that no charge of favour might afterwards be made against the o ce bearers. The names of 4 men and of 5 women were accordingly put into the ballot box, all the nine being equally eligible, and three names are to be drawn from the box at random, no name being replaced after it is drawn. What is the probability that the sub-committee so constituted will consist of exactly two women and one man?
