Question

A math department is allowed to tenure 6 of 15 eligible teachers. In how many ways can the selection for tenure be made?

Answer 1

5005

Answer 2

15*14*13*12*11*10, shadowfax is wrong here

Answer 3

its a combination problem
15!/6!(15-6)!
i guess as we are choosing any 6 out of 15 thats why choosing sequence doesn't matter
if the sequence matters then physopholy is right

Answer 4

so is it 15!/(15-6)!

Answer 5

so the answer is 5005

Answer 6

he got it
