The varsity soccer team has 20 players. Three of the players are trained to be goalies while the remaining 17 can play any position. Only 11 of the players can be on the field at once.
(a) We want to find the number of possible groups of 11 players the coach can choose. Is this a
permutation or a combination?
(b) If the coach wanted to choose her 11 starters at random by drawing names from a hat, how many possible groups of 11 starters could she choose?
(c) The coach wants to make sure there is exactly one goalie on the field. How many ways can the
coach choose a lineup of 11 players if exactly 1 player must be a goalie?
