You can put this solution on YOUR website! from a group of 40 people, a jury of 12 people is selected. in how many different ways of 12 people be selected
------------
The 1st pick is 1/40
then 1/39
etc.
--> 40*39*38 ... 30*29
---------
But picking A, B, C, etc is the same as C, A, B --> divide by 12!
=================
--> 40!/((40-12)!*12!)
= 5,586,853,480 ways
