The function "choose k from n", nCk, is defined as
nCk = n!/(k!*(n-k)!) . . . . . where "!" indicates the factorial
a) No position sensitivity.
The number of possibilities is the number of ways you can choose 5 players from a roster of 12.
12C5 = 12*11*10*9*8/(5*4*3*2*1) = 792
You can put 792 different teams on the floor.
b) 1 of 2 centers, 2 of 5 guards, 2 of 5 forwards.
The number of possibilities is the product of the number of ways, for each position, you can choose the required number of players from those capable of playing the position.
(2C1)*(5C2)*(5C2) = 2*10*10 = 200
You can put 200 different teams on the floor.
Multiply 3&8 and 3&7, this expands it to 24 + 21.
I think its the second one... (hope its right)
?=4
explanation:
the whole thing is 13, and it’s split in 2 sections. section 1 is 9, so to find the length of section 2, you would do 13-9=4.
