Question

From a group of 15 baseball players, a team of 11 players has to be chosen. In how many ways this can be done?

Answer 1

There are 1365 different ways of choosing 11 players from a squad of 15.

This means, can be 1365 eleven-member teams formed with 15 players.

Solution

15C11 = 15!/((15–11)! * 11!)

where ! denotes factorial and 15! = 1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10*11*12*13*14*15

15C11 results to 1365.

Condition: Each student has an equal chance of getting selected.
