In general, 4 items can be selected from 7 items in   =  = 35 different ways,


independently on what these items are (students, teachers, professors, runners, pencils, cars, dogs, cats, balls, nails etc.)


These numbers    and the conception itself are called  combinations.

Solved and explained.
