Question

In order to conduct an experiment five subjects are randomly selected from a group of 48 subjects how many different groups of five subjects are possible

Answer 1

Answer:

1,712,304 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on combination

Since we are to select 5 subjects from a pool of 48 subjects, the number of ways this can be done is expressed as;

48C5 = 48!/(48-5)!5!

48C5 = 48!/43!5!

48C5 = 48×47×46×45×44×43!/43!5!

48C5 = 48×47×46×45×44/5!

48C5 = 205,476,480/120

48C5 = 1,712,304

Hence this can be done in 1,712,304ways
