Answer to Question #290558 in Statistics and Probability for Angelique ential

Question

How many ways 6 delegates to the convention from a group of 24 qualified students

Answer 1

Since only the set of selected students is important, not the order of selection, then number of ways n is equal to number of 6-combinations of 24-elemented set, so

$n={24 \choose 6}={\frac {24!} {6!*(24-6)!}}=134596$
