CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Use the complement: no woman means all 3 are men, in 4C3=4{}^{4}C_3 = 4 of the 7C3=35{}^{7}C_3 = 35 ways.

  2. So the probability is 1−435=31351 - \frac{4}{35} = \frac{31}{35}.

Worth noting

435\frac{4}{35} is the chance of no woman at all.
