Question 1049298: 6 freshmen, 6 sophomores, 7 juniors, and 6 seniors are eligible to be on a committee.
In how many ways can a dance committee of 10 students be chosen if it is to consist of exactly 2 juniors and exactly 3 seniors, and the rest must be freshman or sophomores?

6 seniors chosen 3 at a time is 6 choose 3, or 20 choices.
7 juniors chosen 2 at a time is 7 choose 2, or 21 choices
12 freshmen and sophomores chosen 5 at a time is 12 choose 5, or 792 choices.
20 x 21 x 792=332640 different ways the dance committee can be formed. ☺☺☺☺
