A committee consisting of 4 faculty members and 5 students is to be formed. Every committee position has the same duties and voting rights. There are 8 faculty members and 13 students eligible to serve on the committee. In how many ways can the committee be formed?

Step-by-step explanation:

This question bothers on combination. combination has to do with selection.

If 4 faculty members are chosen from total of  8 faculty members, this can be done in 8C4 number of ways.

8C4 = 8!/(8-4)!4!

8C4 = 8!/4!4!

8C4 = 8*7*6*5*4!/4!*4*3*2

8c4 = 8*7*6*5/24

8C4 = 7*5*2

8C4  =70 ways

Similarly,  5 students are to be selected from a pool of 13 students, this can be done in 13C5 number of ways.

13C5 = 13!/(13-5)!5!

13C5 = 13!/8!5!

13C5 = 13*12*11*10*9*8!/8!*5*4*3*2

13C5 = 13*12*11*10*9/120

13C5 = 1,287 ways

The total number of ways the committee can be formed is 8C4 * 13C5 = 70*1287

The total number of ways the committee can be formed is 90,090 ways

42
