There are 6 books on a reading list. students must read any 3 of the books on the list. in how many ways can a student select any 3 books?

To solve this problem, you must use the Combination Formula:
 
 Cr(n,r)=n! /r!(n-r)!
 
 n: The number of things it can be chosen (n=6).
 r: The number of things you choose (r=3).
 !: The symbol of The Factorial Function, which means that descending numbers are multiplied.
 
 In Combinations the order of the objects does not matter, so we have:
 
 Cr(n,r)=n!/r!(n-r)!
 C(6,3)=6!/3!(6-3)!
 C(6,3)=6!/3!
 C(6,3)= 6x5x4x3!/3x2x1x3!
 C(6,3)=6x5x4/3x2x1
 C(6,3)=120/6
 C(6,3)=20
 
 In how many ways can a student select any 3 books? 
The answer is: In 20 different ways.
