A)How many five person committees have 2 freshmen, 1 sophomore, and 2 seniors?

10C2 * 3C1 * 8C2 = = 45 * 3 * 28 = 3780

B)How many five person committees have exactly 1 sophomore?

3C1 * 24C4 = %283%21%2F%281%21%2A2%21%29%29+%2A+%2824%21%2F%284%21%2A20%21%29%29 = 3 * 10626 = 31878

C)How many five person committees have at least 2 juniors?

(6C2 * 21C3) + (6C3 * 21C2) + (6C4 * 21C1) + 6C5 =

= (15 * 1330) + (20 * 210) + (15 * 21) + 6

= 19950 + 4200 + 315 + 6 = 24471
