Answer:
The total number of men and women is 42.
So the number of ways of selecting 8 people from 42 is C(42,8) = 118030185.
The number of ways of selecting 4 men from 19 and 4 women from 23 is C(19,4)*C(23,4) = 3876*8855 = 34321980
Therefore, the required probability is 34321980 / 118030185 = 0.2907
