How many ways are there to select a subcommittee of 7 members from among a committee of 17?

Correct Answer: 19448

Explanation:

Since it does not matter what order the committee members are chosen in, the combination formula is used.


 


Committees are always a combination unless the problem states that someone like a president has higher hierarchy over another person. If the committee is ordered, then it is a permutation.


 


C(17,7)= 19,448
