Homework Statement
The 8 member Advisory Board considered the complaint of a woman who claimed discrimination. The board, composed of 5 women and 3 men voted 5-3 (respectively). The company's attorney appealed the decision based on proposed sex bias. If there was no sex bias it might be reasonable to assume any group of 5 members would be as likely to vote for the complaintant as any other 5. If this were the case, what is the probability that the vote would split along sex lines as it did (five women for, 3 men against)?
