Question

3) Six teams are playing in a baseball tournament. In how many ways can the teams be crowned champion and

runner-up?

Answer 1

15ways

Explanation:

This question bothers combination

Combination has to do with selection

Given

Total number of teams = 6

champion and runner up = 2

number of ways is expressed as 6C2

6C2 = 6!/(6-2)!2!

6C2 = 6!/4!2!

6C2 = 6*5*4!/4!*2

6c2 = 30/2

6C2 = 15

Hence the number of ways they can be selected is 15ways
