Question 1048588: how many different committees of five from a group of fourteen students can be selected if Qistina and Fahmi insist on serving together or not at all? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Group of 14
Qistina and Fahmi insist on serving together or not at all
Then 14-2 = 12
How many groups of 3 can Qistina and Fahmi serve with?
12C3
|
Because a team that contains both Qistina and Fahmi contains exactly 3 other people from the remaining 12 in the group,
there are as many such teams as there are subsets of 3 people that can be chosen from the remaining 12.
