Question 767513: I'm thinking this is a combination because it entails a random selection with no stated order:
The organizer of a KCC event must select 4 faculty to participate in the event. The participants will be selected from a list of 24 faculty. If the participants are selected randomly, what is the probability that the 4 faculty are all 4 of the mathematics math faculty? (assume that there are 24 total faculty of which exactly 4 of which are mathematics faculty)
