Total number of profession = 3+4+1+1=9


Number of ways in which we select 4 profession =9C4=126= ^9C_4=126


(1) Probability that each of the four professional is repeated on the committee-

=3C1×4C1×1×1126=12126=221=0.0952=\dfrac{ ^3C_1\times ^4C_1\times 1\times 1}{126}=\dfrac{12}{126}=\dfrac{2}{21}=0.0952


(2) Probability that the committee consist of doctor and at least one economist-


=1×3C1×7C2+1×3C2×7C1+1×3C3126=63+21+1126=85126=0.6746=\dfrac{1\times ^3C_1\times ^7C_2+1\times ^3C_2\times ^7C_1+1\times ^3C_3}{126}=\dfrac{63+21+1}{126}=\dfrac{85}{126}=0.6746
