Question
In how many ways, can we select a team of 4 students from a given choice of 15 students?
Choices:
- 1234
- 1364
- 1365
- 1563
Solution
The problem is asking for the number of combinations of 4 students that can be selected from a group of 15. This is a combinatorics problem, specifically a combination problem, since the order in which we select the students does not matter.
The formula for combinations is:
C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n-k)!]
where:
- n is the total number of options,
- k is the number of options to choose,
- "!" denotes factorial, which is the product of all positive integers up to that number.
Substituting the given values into the formula:
C(15, 4) = 15! / [4!(15-4)!] = 15! / (4! * 11!) = (15 * 14 * 13 * 12) / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 1365
So, there are 1365 ways to select a team of 4 students from a group of 15. Therefore, the correct choice is 1365.
