We're going to be using combination since this question is asking how many different combinations of 10 people can be selected from a set of 23.

We would only use permutation if the order of the people in the committee mattered, which it seems it doesn't.

Formula for combination:

C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

Where n represents the number of objects/people in the set and r represents the number of objects/people being chosen from the set

There are 23 people in the set and 10 people being chosen from the set

C(23,10)=\dfrac{23!}{(23-10)!10!}

=\dfrac{23!}{13!\times10!}

Usually I would prefer solving such fractions by hand instead of a calculator, but factorials can result in large numbers and there is too much multiplication. Using a calculator, we get

=1,144,066

Thus, there are 1,144,066 different 10 person committees that can be selected from a pool of 23 people. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
There are 36 outcomes in the sample space.
2)  The ways to roll an odd sum when rolling two dice are:
(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 5), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 3), (6, 5).  There are 18 outcomes in this event.
3)  The probability of rolling an odd sum is 18/36 = 1/2 = 0.5
