QUESTION:

A student committee is to consist of 3 seniors and 4 juniors. A total of 6 seniors and 8 juniors have volunteered to serve on the committee. How many committees are possible?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Combination is way to calculate events where order does not matter. Combinations are calculated using the following formula:

                                              Combination space equals space fraction numerator n factorial over denominator r factorial space cross times open parentheses n minus r close parentheses factorial end fraction

Here, n is the total number of items and r is the number of items being chosen at a time.
