\n" ); document.write( "There are three scenarios to consider ( C(n,r) = n!/((n-r)!r!) ):
\n" ); document.write( "1. You can choose 3 boys and 2 girls: C(7,3)*C(6,2)
\n" ); document.write( "2. You can choose 4 boys and 1 girl: C(7,4)*C(6,1)
\n" ); document.write( "3. You can choose 5 boys and 0 girls: C(7,5)*C(6,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Calculate each result and add them (they are mutually exclusive, so you can add them without overcounting). \n" ); document.write( "
