Answer by Alan3354(69443)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! how many ways can i choose a set of 4 ties to take with me on a trip, if i have 11 different ties to choose from
-------------
11*10*9*8 = 7920
but, choosing ties A, B, C & D is the same as A, C, B & D so it's
7920/(4*3*2*1) = 330
-------
= 11!/((11 - 4)!*4!)
=========================
I think you're referring to that problem.
----------
You can calulcate
11!/(11-7)!*7! and find it's also 330.
---------
Or consider it choosing 4 to leave.
