Essay

A mid-management team consists of 10 people, 6 males and 4 females. Recently top management selected 4 people from this team for promotion. It was stated that the selections were based on random selection. All 4 people selected were males. The females are upset and believe that there may have been more than random selection involved here. What probability distribution should be used to analyze this situation and what is the probability that all 4 promotions would go to males if the selections were random? Do you believe that the females have a valid complaint in this situation?
