<PRE><B>Question 955817</B>
Student council consists of 3 seniors, 3 juniors, 5 sophomores and 3 freshman. A committee must be made up of two students from 9, 10 or 11th grade and another 2 students from 12th grade. How many different committees can be made? Explain. IT does not say whether seniors and serve on more than one committee.
====
Choose 2 of the 3 seniors in 3C2 = 3C1 = 3/1 = 3 ways
Choose 2 of the 11 underclassmen 11C2 = (11*10)/(1*2) = 55 ways
-------------------
Ans: 3C2*11C2 = 3*55 = 165
