Susan is the manager of the "Math Is Fun" softball team. They are putting together their battling order for the first game and they know they can only bat 10 players. If there are 14 players on the team how many different line ups (battling orders) are possible?
Pick 10 players:: 14C10 = 14C4 = (14*13*12*10)/(1*2*3*4) = 1001
-----
# of lineups for the 10 = 10!
--------------------
Ans:: 1001*10! = 3632428800

Not "battling order"
