Here's the Solution to this Question

Let X= the number of females employees selected. The possible values of the random variable X are 0, 1, 2,3,4,5.

There are \dbinom{6+6}{5}=792


P(X=0)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{0}\dbinom{6}{5-0}}{\dbinom{12}{5}}

=\dfrac{1(6)}{792}=\dfrac{1}{132}


P(X=1)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{1}\dbinom{6}{5-1}}{\dbinom{12}{5}}

=\dfrac{6(15)}{792}=\dfrac{15}{132}



P(X=2)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{2}\dbinom{6}{5-2}}{\dbinom{12}{5}}

=\dfrac{15(20)}{792}=\dfrac{50}{132}



P(X=3)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{3}\dbinom{6}{5-3}}{\dbinom{12}{5}}

=\dfrac{20(15)}{792}=\dfrac{50}{132}





P(X=4)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{4}\dbinom{6}{5-4}}{\dbinom{12}{5}}

=\dfrac{15(6)}{792}=\dfrac{15}{132}





P(X=5)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{5}\dbinom{6}{5-5}}{\dbinom{12}{5}}

=\dfrac{6(1)}{792}=\dfrac{1}{132}
