Out of the 13 girls who tried out for the softball team, 10 will be chosen for the team. Find the number of different 10-person teams.

Respuesta :

Using the combination formula, it is found that there are 286 10-person teams.

The order in which the girls are chosen is not important, hence the combination formula is used to solve this question.

What is the combination formula?

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this problem, 10 girls are chosen from a set of 13, hence:

[tex]C_{13,10} = \frac{13!}{10!3!} = 286[/tex]

There are 286 10-person teams.
