Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

That's not enough information.  We'd have to know how many students are
freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

1. would be 

C(number of freshmen,3}

2. would be 

C(no. of freshmen,3)+C(no. of sophomores,3)+C(no. of juniors,3)+C(no. of seniors,3)

But we can't do it if we aren't given those numbers.
