(c) Suppose there are balls of 6 different colors, i.e., Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, and Brown, in a box, where there are exactly 17 indistinguishable balls of the same color. How many minimum numbers of balls must be drawn by you from the box (that contains all the balls of different colors) to be sure that you have at least 8 balls of the same color. Show your work and calculation with relevant explanation in detail.

Within a group of 12 women, there are five who have known each other for a long time and have an excellent relationship. The other 7 women do not know the 5 friends nor do they know each other. Whenever a subset of the five friends is equal to or greater than 50% of the number of people in another work group (for example, if there are two of the five friends in the work group of three or four people), then the group work becomes high performance It is desired to form a working group by selecting five women from the 12 women. What is the probability that the work group is high performing? Please indicate your answer in the space provided below as a number between zero and one, to four decimal places.
