A committee must be formed with 5 teachers and 4 students. If there are 6 teachers to choose from, and 15 students, how many different ways could the committee be mad?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8190 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Teachers = 6[/tex]

[tex]Students = 15[/tex]

Selection

[tex]Students = 4[/tex]

[tex]Teachers = 5[/tex]

Required

Number of ways of selection

4 students can be selected from 15 students in:

[tex]Students= ^{15}C_4[/tex]

Similarly.

5 teachers can be selected from 6 teachers in:

[tex]Teachers= ^{6}C_5[/tex]

So, the required number of selection is:

[tex]Selection = ^{15}C_4 * ^6C_5[/tex]

Apply combination formula:

[tex]Selection = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!4!} * \frac{6!}{(6-5)!5!}[/tex]

[tex]Selection = \frac{15!}{11!4!} * \frac{6!}{1!5!}[/tex]

[tex]Selection = \frac{15*14*13*12*11!}{11!*4*3*2*1} * \frac{6*5!}{1*5!}[/tex]

[tex]Selection = \frac{15*14*13*12}{4*3*2*1} * \frac{6}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Selection = \frac{32760}{24} * 6[/tex]

[tex]Selection = 1365 * 6[/tex]

[tex]Selection = 8190[/tex]
