One Saturday, you decided to invite some friends over to watch movies that you found on a list of the top 100 movies of all time. You have narrowed it down to 7 movies, but your friends only have time to stay for 5. How many different group of movies can you watch in the time available?

Number of available movies to watch = 7

Number of movies that we need to select = 5

This can be done in
7C_(5) ways.


7C_(5) = (7!)/(5! 2!)


= (6(7))/(2)

= 21 ways

Hence, 5 movies can be selected from the available 7 movies in 21 ways.
