A club consisting of 6 juniors and 8 seniors is to be formed from a group of 13 juniors and 16 seniors. How many different clubs can be formed from the group?

Respuesta :

Answer:

22,084,920 different clubs can be formed from the group

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the students are chosen to the club is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

6 juniors, from a set of 13.

8 seniors, from a set of 16.

So

[tex]T = C_{13,6}*C_{16,8} = \frac{13!}{6!(13-6)!}*\frac{16!}{8!(16-8)!} = 22084920[/tex]
