120 different samples can be taken.

[tex]_{10}C_3=\frac{10!}{3!7!} = 120[/tex]

A combination is a selection of part from a set of objects. In a combination the order of selecting object does not matters.

So we use combination for selecting 3 from the population of 10

We know combination of selecting 'r' objects from 'n' is nCr

[tex] nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} [/tex]

We need to find 10C 3

[tex] 10C3 = \frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{10!}{3!7!} [/tex]

= 120

120 different samples of size 3 can be taken from a finite population of size 10
