Question 852887: You can answer any 8 questions from the 12 questions on an exam. In how many different ways can you choose the 8 questions, assuming that the order in which you choose the questions is irrelevant? Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you have 12 items taken 8 at a time, this is a combination problem since order is irrelevant
total combinations = 12! / 8! * (12-8)!
total combinations = 4.790016e8 / (40320 * 24) = 495
there are 495 ways to chose 8 questions from 12 questions
