Answer:

There are 35 different sets of 3 books Joe could choose

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Combination is a collection of the objects where the order doesn't

 matter

- The formula for the number of possible combinations of r objects from

 a set of n objects is nCr = n!/r!(n-r)!

- n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2)................. × 1

Lets solve the problem

- Joe has one book each for algebra, geometry, history, psychology,

 Spanish, English and Physics in his locker

∴ He has <em>seven</em> books in the locker

- He wants to chose <em>three</em> of them

∵ The order is not important when he chose the books

∴ We will use the combination <em>nCr</em> to find how many different sets

  of three books he can choose

- The total number of books is 7

∴ n = 7

∵ He chooses 3 of them

∴ r = 3

∵ 7C3 = 7!/3!(7 - 3)! = 7!/3!(4!)

∴ 7C3=\frac{(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)}{[(3)(2)(1)][(4)(3)(2)(1)]}=35

∴ 7C3 = 35

* There are 35 different sets of 3 books Joe could choose
