Given:

Jeanine Baker makes floral arrangements. She has 16 different cut flowers and plans to use 4 of them

We will find a number of ways to select of the 4 flowers

As the arrangement is not necessary

We will use the combinations

So, the number of ways =


16C4=(16!)/((16-4)!\cdot4!)=1820

So, the answer will be 1820 possible ways to select 4 flowers
