You should show the combinations formula.

10! / (4!(10-6)!) = 210 :)

@thelemur

Actually, the combination example you gave should be 10! / (4!(10 - 4!)) = 210

I did include the formula in my original video, but it ran too long.

the question should be what is the probablity of choosing exactaly 4 men and 8 women? The way you state it makes it sound like its irrelevant to see how many ways you can choose 8 women out of 14.
