There are 15 members of the show choir. In how many ways can you arrange 4 members in the front row when order does not matter?

32760 ways. Because it is a permutation it would be 15!. Which is 15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

We need to find the number of combinations of the 15 members taken 4 at a time:

15C4=(15!)/(4!11!)=(15*14*13*12)/(4*3*2*1)=1365
