Answer:

  • B) 15! / (11! × 4!)

------------------------

This is a combination of 4 out of 15.

Use combination formula:

  • nCr = n! / ((n - r)! × r!),

where C - number of combinations, n- total number of objects, r - number of choosing from objects

Substitute 15 for n and 4 for r to get:

  • 15C4 = 15! / ((15 - 4)! × 4!) = 15! / (11! × 4!)

Correct choice is B.
