Calculate the number of ways to select a cricket team of 11 players from a pool of 16, given that two specific players must always be included in the selection.
Since two specific players are already included, we only need to select the remaining 9 players from the remaining 14 available candidates. This is calculated using the combination formula C(14, 9), which equals 2002.
767
In how many distinct ways can 3 unique positions be filled if there are 6 candidates available for selection?
Since the posts are distinct, the order of selection matters. We use the permutation formula P(n, r) = n! / (n-r)!. Here, n=6 and r=3, so P(6, 3) = 6 × 5 × 4 = 120. This calculation accounts for all possible arrangements of candidates into the three specific posts.
This analogy maps a subject matter to its corresponding field of scientific study. Zoology is the branch of biology that studies animals. Similarly, bacteriology is the branch of biology that studies bacteria, which are often associated with the study of diseases. Thus, the relationship between the subject and the field is maintained.
