arturo can have pizza for dinner on any four of the next eight days. how many different ways can he select the days on which to have pizza?

Respuesta :

Arturo can select the days on which to have pizza in 70 ways using combination rule if he chooses any four of the next eight days.

What is combination?

A combination is a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter.

In combinations, one can select the items in any order.

Number of combination of a objects chosen from n objects

                                  ⁿCₐ = [tex]\frac{n!}{a! (n-a)!}[/tex]

According to the given question:

To select 4 days out of the next 8 days, use combination rule

ⁿCₐ = [tex]\frac{n!}{a! (n-a)!}[/tex]

⁸C₄ = [tex]\frac{8!}{4! (8-4)!}[/tex]

⁸C₄ = (8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1)/(4x3x2x1)(4x3x2x1)

⁸C₄ = (8x7x6x5)/(4x3x2x1)

⁸C₄ = 70

Therefore there are 70 ways Arturo can select the 4 days out of 8 to have pizza for dinner.
