    1) The document provides examples of calculating combinations (nCr) and factorials to solve problems involving selecting objects or people from groups without replacement. 2) It then gives 5 word problems to solve using combinations, such as selecting committees from groups of people or cards from decks. 3) The solutions show setting up and evaluating the combinations formula (nCr = n! / [r!(n-r)!]) to calculate the number of possible group selections.

    Exercise 13

    Evaluate the following:

    1) 5C3

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 5!/ [3! (5-3)!]
    = 5!/(3! 2!)
    = 120/12
    = 10
    2) 10C6

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 10!/ [6! (10-6)!]
    = 10!/(6! 4!)
    = 3,628,800/(720)(24)
    = 3,628,800/17,280
    = 210

    3) (5C2) (8C3)

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 5!/ [2! (5-2)!]
    = 5!/(2! 3!)
    = 120/12
    = 10

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 8!/ [3! (8-3)!]
    = 8!/(3! 5!)
    = 40,320/(6)(120)
    = 40,320/720
    = 56
    (5C2) (8C3)
    =10 (56)
    =560
    4) 15C10

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 15!/ [10! (15-10)!]
    = 15!/(10! 5!)
    = 3,003

    Answer the following:

    1) In how many ways can a committee of three be formed from a group of 12 members?

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 12!/ [9! (12-9)!]
    = 12!/(9! 3!)
    = 220

    2) From a list of 30 Professors, 4 are to be appointed as Department Chairman. In how many


    ways can this be done?

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 30!/ [26! (30-26)!]
    = 30!/(26! 4!)
    = 27,405

    3) In how many ways can we select 5 cards which should be composed of 2 Kings and 3
    Jacks from a deck of cards.

    (4C2) (4C3)
    = 6(4)
    = 24

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 4!/ [2! (4-2)!]
    = 4!/(2! 2!)
    = 24/4
    =6

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 4!/ [3! (4-3)!]
    = 4!/(3! 1!)
    = 24/6
    =4

    4) A florist has 5 flowers, each of a different variety. How many different bouquets can be
    formed?

    nCr = n!
    = 5!
    = 120

    5) In how many ways can 7 Math Teachers be employed from 10 male and 6 female
    applicants?

    (10C7) (6C7)

    nCr = n! / [ r! (n-r)!]
    = 10!/ [7! (10-7)!]
    = 10!/(7! 3!)
    = 10!/(5,040)(6)
    = 3,628,800/30,240
    = 120
