### Probability and Statistics ProblemA company that has 200 employees chooses a committee of 15 to represent employee retirement issues. When the committee is formed, none of the 56 minority employees are selected.#### Tasks:(a) **Use technology to find the number of ways 15 employees can be chosen from 200.** - Answer: There are \(\_\_\_\_\) ways to choose 15 employees from 200 employees. *(Use scientific notation. Round to two decimal places as needed. Use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed.)*(b) **Use technology to find the number of ways 15 employees can be chosen from 144 nonminorities.**- Answer: There are \(\_\_\_\_\) ways to choose 15 employees from 144 nonminorities. *(Use scientific notation. Round to two decimal places as needed. Use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed.)*(c) **What is the probability that the committee contains no minorities when the committee is chosen randomly (without bias)?**- Answer: The probability is \(\_\_\_\_\) *(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)*(d) **Does your answer to (c) indicate that the committee selection is biased? Explain your reasoning.**- Answer: \(\_\_\_\_\) the committee selection is most likely \(\_\_\_\_\) because the probability that was found in part (c) is \(\_\_\_\_\).**Note:** Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes.This problem allows students to explore combinations and probabilities using real-world scenarios. Understanding these concepts helps in analyzing and assessing fairness in selection processes.
