Mixed rugby team of 20, 5 are female. 15 play at a time. i.) What is the percentage chance of a female playing. ii.)A minimum of three females must now be on the pitch. What is the percentage chance of 4 females playing?

i.) 5/20 * 15/20 *100 = 18.755%ii.) Since 3 have to be on the team, essentially the problem is percentage chance of one female getting onto a team of 12, therefore 2/17 * 12/17 * 100 = 8.30%
