Question

How many ways can five members of the

100-member United States Senate be
chosen to be put on a committee?

Answer 1

75287520

Explanation:

Combination formula:
`(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)`

n = the amount of members of the US senate (100)

r = number of members chosen to be committee (5)

=
`(100!)/(5!(100-5)!)`

=
`(100!)/(5! * 95!)`

= 75287520
