We consider the model of a Fermi - Bose mixture with strong hard-core repulsion between particles of the same sort and attraction between particles of different sorts. In this case, in addition to the standard anomalous averages of the type , , and , a pairing between fermions and bosons of the type is possible. This pairing corresponds to creation of composite fermions in the system. At low temperatures and equal densities of fermions and bosons, composite fermions are further paired into the quartets. At higher temperatures, trios consising of composite fermions and elementary bosons are also present in the system. Our investigations are important in connection with the recent observation of weakly bound dimers in magnetic and optical dipole traps at ultralow temperatures and with the observation of collapse of a Fermi gas in an attractive Fermi - Bose mixture of neutral particles.
