Answer:

There were 28 different choices for the six locations to apply the new ointment

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the location are chosen is not important, which means that we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Two events, A and B are independent, if:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)

How many different choices were there for the six locations to apply the new ointment?

Six locations from a set of 8. So

C_{8,6} = \frac{8!}{6!2!} = 28

There were 28 different choices for the six locations to apply the new ointment
