A legislative committee consists of 7 Democrats, 5 Republicans, and 1 Independent. A delegation of 3 is selected to visit a small Pacific island republic:
"N things, CHOOSE R" is calculated this way
N*(N-1)*(N-2)···until there are R factors in the numerator
NCR = ----------------------------------------------------------
R!
a) How many different delegations are possible?
13 people, CHOOSE 3
b) How many different delegations consist of at least 1 Republican?
Note that "AND" usually means "TIMES":
"5 Republicans, CHOOSE 1" AND "12 others, CHOOSE 2":
