The probability of choosing exactly four third-shift workers out of eight randomly selected workers is calculated by dividing the number of ways to choose four third-shift workers by the total number of ways to choose any eight workers. So, the probability is: \[ P = \frac{\binom{14}{4} \times \binom{39}{4}}{\binom{53}{8}} \]

Solución

We start by noting that the warehouse has a total of \[ 21 + 18 + 14 = 53 \text{ workers.} \] We choose 8 workers at random. To have exactly four third‐shift workers among those eight, we must select: 1. Four workers from the 14 third‐shift workers. 2. The remaining four workers from the 39 non–third‐shift workers (i.e. first and second shifts combined, \(21+18=39\)). The number of ways to choose four third‐shift workers is given by \[ \binom{14}{4}. \] The number of ways to choose four workers from the other 39 is \[ \binom{39}{4}. \] Thus, the total number of favorable outcomes is \[ \binom{14}{4}\binom{39}{4}. \] The total number of ways to choose any 8 workers from 53 is \[ \binom{53}{8}. \] Therefore, the desired probability is \[ P = \frac{\binom{14}{4}\binom{39}{4}}{\binom{53}{8}}. \]

Did you know that the concept of probability dates back to the 16th century when mathematicians like Gerolamo Cardano began studying games of chance? They laid the groundwork for what we now understand as statistical theory, transforming randomness into a field of scientific inquiry. So next time you ponder probabilities, you're tapping into over 400 years of mathematical evolution! In real-world applications, this kind of probability estimation is crucial in workforce management. For example, companies often evaluate the odds of specific worker distribution for tasks or shift assignments, optimizing productivity and meeting operational goals. Understanding how to navigate shifts and worker capabilities can lead to better team dynamics and efficiency, directly impacting the bottom line!
