Problem 1: Five winners of a door prize will be selected at random, without replacement, from a list containing 5 mem and 7 women.

How many different sets of 5 winners consisting of 3 men and 2 women can be selected for door prizes??

Not going to do your homework for you, but here's a hint. It's pick 3 from five times pick 2 from 7, order doesn't matter. I can't remember the exact formula, but that should give you a start.
