Ordered group between boys and girls

Lets say I have 20k people.(k>0)
Lets say 15k boys 5k girls.
If I want to make k groups of 15 boys and 5 girls, where inner ordering
of the group does matter(it can be girl boy boy ... or whatever) - point is
the boys and girls are mixed within a group. How do I do it?



From my understanding 15 boys,then 5 girls in the following way
15k,15k-1,...15k-14,5k,5k-1,...5k-4,...
and this way we arrange a row of 15 boys followed by 5 girls.
In total its (15k)!(5k)!.
Now we can divide by 15! and 5! to get rid of the inner ordering
between boys and girls respectively, and then divide by k! to get
rid of between the groups.
But how do I go from here - or in a completely different way - and
make order in each group between the 15 boys and girls.

    For the first group: $C^{15}_{15k}times C^5_{5k}$ (where $C$ indicates combination) For the second: $C^{15}_{15(k-1)}times C^5_{5(k-1)}$ What do you think?

For the first group:



$C^{15}_{15k}times C^{5}_{5k}$ (where $C$ indicates combination)



I think this is as you did.



For the second:



$C^{15}_{15(k-1)}times C^{5}_{5(k-1)}$



...



For the last:



$C^{15}_{15(k-(k-1))}times C^{5}_{5(k-(k-1))}=C^{15}_{15}times C^{5}_{5}=1$



Then, as you said, divide by $k!$ because the ordering of the groups don't matter.



So, you have



$dfrac{1}{k!}prod_{i=0}^{k-1}C^{15}_{15(k-i)}times C^{5}_{5(k-i)}$ manners to get this groups...



What do you think?

  • I am not entirely sure. If I understand correctly, you are making k groups with boys and girls, but you dont make them ordered within the group. I think if we multiply your answer by (20!)^k to make them ordered it would be correct. Not sure.

  • Oh, now I understand... I think you're right. Taking the groups as above, the order in a group can be take in $20!$ different manners. So, multiply by $(20!)^k$. I think is it... Thank you.
