How many different ways are there for an admissions officer to select a group of 6 college candidates from a group of 15 applicants for an interview?
----------------
That is an ambiguous question because it does not make clear
whether the order of selection is important.
-----
If order is important the answer is 15P6 = 3,603,600
----------------
If order is not important the answer is 15C6 = 5005
