There are 10 different ways 

The committee can be set up in 20 different ways

Data;

  • Number of candidates = 5
  • Number of candidates selected = 3

Number of ways the committee is selected

To determine the number of ways in which the committee is selected, we can use combination which is a topic in mathematics.

This is computed as

[tex]^5C_3= \frac{5!}{3!} = \frac{5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1} = 5 * 4 = 20[/tex]
