Is the question "How many different ways can you make 4 five player teams"?

anonymous · Answer

No actually it says in how many ways can 5 player team be made, and then just lists the teams names

anonymous · Answer

4 team names

wolf1728 · Answer

basically 4 teams of 5 players each

anonymous · Answer

yea

wolf1728 · Answer

As you probably know, the combination formula is n! / (r! * (n-r)!

anonymous · Answer

yup

wolf1728 · Answer

So I guess n is 20 and r is 5 but we might need a different formula - I will check.

anonymous · Answer

I think its going to be 20C5 which is 15504 ways of choosing 5 players for 1 team, so we would have to multiply it by 4

wolf1728 · Answer
