There are 11 students on the tennis team. The coach selects 3 of them to go to a tennis clinic. In how many ways can he choose 3 of the 11 students

Respuesta :

Answer:

165 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the number of combinations of 3 from 11

11C3  =     11! / 3! (11-3)!

=  11*10*9 / 3*2*1

=  165 ways

The combination helps us to know the number of ways an object can be arranged without a particular manner. The number of ways the coach can select 3 of the 11 students is 165.

What is Permutation and Combination?

Permutation helps us to know the number of ways an object can be arranged in a particular manner. A permutation is denoted by 'P'.

The combination helps us to know the number of ways an object can be arranged without a particular manner. A combination is denoted by 'C'.

[tex]^nC_r = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}\ , \ \ ^nP_r = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

where,

n is the number of choices available,

r is the choices to be made.

Given that there are 11 students on the tennis team. The coach selects 3 of them to go to a tennis clinic.

Now, using the combination the number of ways the coach can select 3 of the 11 students is,

Number of ways = ¹¹C₃

[tex]= \dfrac{11!}{3!(11-3)!}[/tex]

= 165

Hence, the number of ways the coach can select 3 of the 11 students is 165.
