Answer:

48C7=73,629,072\ ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order in which you select the numbers is not important then we have a combination problem

The formula of combinations is:

nCr=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Where n is the number of objects you can choose, and you choose r from them

Then you will get the number of possible ways to select r objects from a group of n objects

In this case we have that:

n=48\\\\r=7

Therefore:

48C7=\frac{48!}{7!(48-7)!}

48C7=\frac{48!}{7!*41!}

48C7=\frac{48*47*46*45*44*43*42*41!}{7*6*5*4*3*2*1*41!}

48C7=\frac{48*47*46*45*44*43*42}{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}

48C7=73,629,072\ ways
