19c4 19 is the number of students and Ms. bell has to choose 4.

Parth (parthkohli):

Can you simplify it?

I got 3,876 as my answer.

Parth (parthkohli):

You are correct ^_^

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait

Parth (parthkohli):

It's a committee of juniors right? then 10c4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It cant be a permutation, since its not specific.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yes, it's juniors. Nice catch.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

shouldnt it be 10! not 19!

Parth (parthkohli):

I know, since it's only for juniors, it's 10c4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which will make it 210.

Parth (parthkohli):

I just stated that @lgbasallote +.+ you should be more observant

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes. Correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\binom{10}4 =210 \]
