\n" ); document.write( "Question:
\n" ); document.write( "The table below shows the grade-level distribution for the school basketball team.
\n" ); document.write( "freshman-2
\n" ); document.write( "sophomore-4
\n" ); document.write( "junior-8
\n" ); document.write( "senior-15
\n" ); document.write( "A local television station wants to interview 8 students from the team. How many different ways can exactly 4 seniors and 4 juniors be selected for the interview?
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Solution:
\n" ); document.write( "Here the question is how many different ways can 4 seniors and 4 juniors be selected. So the freshmen and sophomores don't really count.
\n" ); document.write( "Seniors can be chosen 4 out of 15, so C(15,4) ways. Juniors can be chosen 4 out of 8, so C(8,4) ways.
\n" ); document.write( "The total number of ways is the product of the two, namely
\n" ); document.write( "= C(15,4)*C(8,4)
\n" ); document.write( "= 15!/(4!11!)*8!/(4!4!)
\n" ); document.write( "= 1365*70
\n" ); document.write( "= 95550 ways
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
