In 165 ways i can select 3 books to bring on vacation from a group of 11 books.
A combination is when you choose data from a group without any order or sequence. If the group of data is relatively lesser, you can calculate the number of possible combinations.
According to the question
Select 3 books to bring on vacation from a group of 11 books.
By using combinations formula
[tex]^{n} C _{r}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]
[tex]^{11} C_{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{11!}{3!(11-3)!}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{11.(10)(9)(8!)}{3!.8!}[/tex]
Cancelling out 8! from denominator and numerator
= [tex]\frac{11(10)(9)}{3(2)(1)}[/tex]
= 165
Thus, In 165 ways i can select 3 books to bring on vacation from a group of 11 books.
