sales representatives for a company are to be chosen to participate in a training program. The company has eight sales representatives, two in each of four regions. In how many ways can the four sales representatives be chosen if there are no restrictions?

Answer 1

Using the combination formula, it is found that there are 70 ways in which the four sales representatives can be chosen.

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

What is the combination formula?

• $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this problem, 4 representatives are chosen from a set of 8, hence:

$C_{8,4} = \frac{8!}{4!4!} = 70$

There are 70 ways in which the four sales representatives can be chosen.
