    Answer:0.000810

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    A committee of 3 members is formed using

    5 Admin, 34 teachers, and 4 staff

    Favorable outcomes are selecting 3 members as Administrators

    total members =5+34+4=43

    Probability is given by

    \Rightarrow P=\dfrac{\text{Favorable}}{\text{Total}}

    \Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^5C_3}{^{43}C_3}=\dfrac{10}{43\times 41\times 7}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{10}{12,341}=0.000810
