Answer 1

So, exist 18564 different possibilities.

Explanation:

We know that the eighteen passengers get on an airport shuttle at the airport. The shuttle has a route that includes six hotels, and passengers get off the shuttle at their hotel.

We calcuate how many different possibilities exist that eighteen passengers can choose six hotels. We get:

`C_6^(18)=(18!)/(6!(18-6)!)=18564`

So, exist 18564 different possibilities.
