A graduation Committee of 6 students is to be selected from the 4 males and 6
female on the student council. How many graduation committees are possible if the
President of the student council who is female must be on the committee?
4 males + 6 females = 10 students.

Choose the President of the student council 1 way.

9 remaining students choose 5 = 9 Choose 5 = 9C5 = 

After cancelling and multiplying, we end up with 126 ways.
