(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964

Answer:

D. The difference of the means is not significant because the re-randomizations show that it is within the range of what could happen by chance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatment group using System A reported a mean of 18.5 lost bags per day. The treatment group using System B reported a mean of 16.6 lost bags per day.

The best conclusion that can be made is - The difference of the means is not significant because the re-randomizations show that it is within the range of what could happen by chance.

As we know, in statistics, nothing happens by chance. So, this option is correct.
