Answer:

24414 combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We have 17 employees that needs to be managed for a project.

- We will choose all of our employees equally likely for 3 projects.

Project 1 = 8 spacings

- So we have 17 available employees to choose from. So we choose (combinations):

Project 1 = 17C8 = 24310 combinations

- We are left with 17 - 8 = 9 employees, for the next project:

Project 2 = 3 spacings

- So out of the available 9 employees project 2 would have:

Project 2 = 9C3 = 84 combinations

- We are left with 9 - 3 = 6 employees, for the next project:

Project 3 = 3 spacings

- So out of the available 6 employees project 3 would have:

Project 3 = 6C3 = 20 combinations

- The total number of combinations fro selecting 17 employees for each project would be:

24310 + 84 + 20 = 24414 combinations
