AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
7C5 = 7*6 / 1*2 = 21
so, A
56 = 8P2
7C5 = 7*6 / 1*2 = 21
so, A
56 = 8P2
I'm sorry for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the correct answer is A, 21. The number of ways to choose 5 players from a group of 7 is given by the combination formula:
7C5 = 7! / (5!2!) = (7*6)/(2*1) = 21.
Thank you for catching the error and providing the correct solution.
7C5 = 7! / (5!2!) = (7*6)/(2*1) = 21.
Thank you for catching the error and providing the correct solution.
