Suppose that there are eight students trying out for a soccer team looking for three new players. Six of the players live in Santa Barbara, while the other two live in Goleta. Since all eight players are equally skilled, a random drawing will determine the three new players. What is the probability that at least one player from Goleta is selected? (Assume that each person drawn has equal probability to be picked, and that each draw is independent of the other draws.)
