The first member chosen can be any one of 1,514 students.The second member chosen can be any one of the remaining 1,513 students.The third member chosen can be any one of the remaining 1,512 students.So there are (1,514 x 1,513 x 1,512) ways to choose three students.But for every group of three, there are (3 x 2 x 1) = 6 different orders in which the same 3 can be chosen.So the number of `distinct, unique committees of 3 students is(1514 x 1513 x 1512) / 6 = 577,251,864
84 students and six teachers.Students per teacher = (number of students) / (number of teachers)= 84 / 6= 14

One must first consider the number of ordered ways that 4 students may be chosen, and then divide that by the number of ways the four may have been ordered to create a number of distinct groups. For the orders, there are 30 choices for the first, 29 for the second, 28 for the third, and 27 for the fourth. However, there are a 4 ways within the four to pick the first, 3 ways for the second, 2 for the third, and 1 left for the fourth. The answer may be expressed by the following: 30 x 29 x 28 x 27 ______________ 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 which evaluates to 27,405 committees.
There are 10560 possible committees.
Possibilities are (9 x 8)/2 times (49 x 48 x 47 x 46)/24 = 366,121,728/48 =7,627,536 different committees.
There are (10 x 9)/2 = 45 different possible pairs of 2 teachers. For each of these . . .There are (30 x 29)/2 = 435 different possible pairs of students.The total number of different committees that can be formed is (45 x 435) = 19,575 .
There are 10 different sets of teachers which can be combined with 4 different sets of students, so 40 possible committees.
You can select 4 of the 9 teachers in any order, and for each of those selections you can select 2 of the 41 students in any order. This is two combinations → number_of_ways = ₉C₄ + ₄₁C₂ = 9!/((9-4)!4!) + 41!((41-2)!2!) = 126 + 820 = 946 different committees.
6,375,600
53,130 ways.
I think the answer might surprise you! Any 4 from 12 is (12 x 11 x 10 x 9)/(4 x 3 x 2) ie 495; Any 3 from 36 is (36 x 35 x 34)/(3 x 2) ie 7140 These must be multiplied as each teacher set can be combined with each student set giving a total of (deep breath) 3,534,300.
There are 84 different combinations possible for the committee of 6, taken from4 students and 5 teachers.1.- The committee with 4 students has 4C4 number of combinations of 4 students out of 4 and 5C2 number of combinations of 2 teachers out of 5 to be combined with. The product of these two give the number of different combinations possible in a committee formed by 4 students and 2 teachers.2.- The committee with 3 students has 4C3 number of combinations of 3 students out of 4 and 5C3 number of combinations of 3 teachers out of 5 to be combined with. The product of these two give the number of different combinations possible in a committee formed by 3 students and 6 teachers.3.- The committee with 2 students has 4C2 number of combinations of 2 studentsout of 4 and 5C4 number of combinations of 4 teachers out of 5 to be combined with. The product of these two give the number of different combinations possible in a committee formed by 2 students and 4 teachers.4.- The committee with 1 student has 4C1 number of combinations of 1 student out of 4 students and 5C5 number of combinations of 5 teachers out of 5 to be combined with. The product of these two give the number of different combinations possible in a committee formed by 1 student and 5 teachers.We now add up all possible combinations:4C4∙5C2 + 4C3∙5C3 + 4C2∙5C4 + 4C1∙5C5 = 1(10) + 4(10) +6(5) + 4(1) = 84There are 84 different combinations possible for the committee of 6, taken from4 students and 5 teachers.[ nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!) ][ n! = n(n-1)(n-2)∙∙∙(3)(2)(1) ]

You can join the placement committee in college to help influence were students are placed. If you are a student this will help your voice be heard.
