Question

There are 2 Senators from each of 50 states. We wish to make a 3-Senator committee in which no two members are from the same state. b How many ways can we choose a Senator from a chosen state? (ITS NOT 156800)

Answer 1

940800 different ways to create the committee.

Explanation:

1 chosen from 100 leaves 98 to chose from on the second pick because the other senator from the same state is also eliminated. The second choice leaves 96 available for the third selection.

So multiply 100×98×96=940800

Answer 2

The answer is 2
