Answer:
There can be 24056660 committees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Senate in a certain state is comprised of 60 Republicans, 38 Democrats, and 22 Independents.
Number of ways to pick 3 Republicans : 60C3 = [tex]\frac{60!}{3!(60-3)!}[/tex] = 34220
Number of ways to pick 2 Democrats : 38C2 = [tex]\frac{38!}{2!(38-2)!}[/tex]
= 703
And total number of committees formed = [tex]34220\times703=24056660[/tex]
