Question

In how many ways can a team of 8 people be selected from 5 women and 10 men?

Answer 1

6435 ways

Explanation:

Since the order does not matter, it is a combination, also because they do not indicate how many men and how many women should be in the group of 8, which means that it would be the ways of putting together a group of 8 with 15 people (10 men + 5 women)

That is to say:

nCr = n! / (r! * (n-r)!)

n = 15, r = 8, replacing:

15C8 = 15! / (8! * (15-8)!)

15C8 = 6435

which means that there are 6435 ways to arm the group
