Question

A class has 32 students. in how many different ways can five students form a group for an​ activity? (assume the order of the students is not​ important.)

Answer 1

Answer: The number of different ways to choose a group of five students out of 32 students is given by the combination formula:

C(32, 5) = 32! / (5! * (32 - 5)!) = 32 * 31 * 30 * 29 * 28 / (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 201,376

Therefore, there are 201,376 different ways for five students to form a group out of 32 students.
