Best Answer

In combinatorial terms it makes no difference whether you pick one chairperson out of 12 and five other persons, or you pick 6 persons out of 12 and then they pick one of their subgroup to be chair.

Number of ways of selecting 1 out of 12 = 12

That leaves 11 persons and you want 5 from them. this can be done in 11C5 = 11*10*9*8*7/(5*4*3*2*1) = 452 ways.

So total number of ways = 12*462 = 5544

A committee of 8 students is to be selected from a class consisting of 19 freshmen and 34 sophomores in how many ways can a committeee with at least 1 freshman be selected?

This number is 19(52)(52-1)(52-2)(52-3)(52-4)(52-5)(52-6)(52-7), or approximately 5.89 X 1014. The reasoning is as follows: Any one of the 19 freshman can be selected first. After this choice is made, there are 52 remaining persons (34 + 19 -1) from among whom the second position on the committee can be chosen, 52 -2 remaining persons for the third position, etc.)
