Question 9 • Geometry

A coach chooses six out of eight players to go to a skills workshop. If order does not matter, in how many ways can he choose the players for the workshop?

Answer
A
56
B
28
C
8
D
6

Explanation

Since order does not matter, use combinations: the number of ways to choose 6 players from 8 is C(8,6) = 8!/(6!·2!) = (8·7)/2 = 28. So there are 28 possible groups, which is choice B.
