Politics. There are 10 senators (half Democrats, half Republicans) and 16 representatives (half Democrats, half Republicans) who wish to serve on a joint congressional committee on tax reform. An 8-person committee is chosen at random from those who wish to serve. (A) What is the probability that the joint committee contains equal numbers of senators and representatives? (B) What is the probability that the joint committee contains equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans?
