Males             15                        3                                8

Females           5                       2                                8

Total no of ways to choose 3 deans each for one college from staff

= [tex]20C1 (5C1)(16C1)\\= 1600[/tex]

b) Atleast one is a female

The ways to choose atleast one is a female = total ways - no female
