The ways to select the candidates from the total is 1716
<h3>How to determine the ways of selection?</h3>
From the question, we have
- Total number of candidate, n = 13
- Numbers to selection, r = 6 i.e. the president, a treasurer, a secretary, and three other committee members
The number of ways of selection could be drawn is calculated using the following combination formula
Total = ⁿCᵣ
Where
n = 13 and r = 6
Substitute the known values in the above equation
Total = ¹³C₆
Apply the combination formula
ⁿCᵣ = n!/(n - r)!r!
So, we have
Total = 13!/7!6!
Evaluate
Total = 1716
Hence, the number of ways is 1716
