There are 31 students on a bus. Of these students, 8 of them attend School A and the rest attend School B. This bus breaks down and another bus is sent to pick up the students, but this new bus can only hold 24 of the students.

What is the probability that exactly 5 of the students who attend School A get selected to board the new bus that holds 24 students? Answer: Round to at least FOUR digits after the decimal if necessary. b. What is the probability that at least 5 of the students who attend School A get selected to board the new bus that holds 24 students? Answer: Round to at least FOUR digits after the decimal if necessary.
