First we'll find the number of teams of 5 from the 18 children without restrictions of gender. Then we'll subtract the number with no boys and the number with just 1 boy. 1. The number of teams with no restriction of gender. That's 18C5 = 8568 teams with no restrictions of gender. 2. The number of teams with no boys, which means 5 girls: That's 11C5 = 462 teams of all girls, no boys, which we must subtract. 3. The number of teams with exactly 1 boy and 4 girls: We can choose the 1 boy 7C1 = 7 ways. Then we can choose the 4 girls 11C4 = 330 ways. Thats 7(330) = 2310 ways, which we also must subtract. Final answer = 8568-462-2310 = 5796 teams with at least 2 boys. Edwin
