Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of selecting 5 men out of a total of 70 contestants (42 women + 28 men) without replacement is calculated using combinations. The probability is the number of ways to choose 5 men out of 28 divided by the number of ways to choose 5 people out of 70, which is (28C5)/(70C5) = 0.00812.
